Adrenal sarcomatoid carcinoma: a case report and review of the literature.
Review in The Ulster medical journal, 2014. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 14 papers.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
Adrenocortical sarcomatoid carcinoma (ASC) is an extremely rare variant of adrenocortical carcinoma (ACC). Its relative rarity and its characteristic histological pattern of both epithelioid and sarcomatoid components may pose diagnostic challenges which influence treatment. Here, we report a case of ASC in a 58 year-old man presenting with increasing abdominal pain and associated abdominal bloating with a large right adrenal mass detected by computed tomographic scan (CT). To our knowledge, only eleven prior cases of ASC have been reported in the literature. Here, we discuss the clinical, radiological and histopathological findings in our case, review the literature on ASCs and offer opinion on best management.
