Tuberculosis of the adrenal gland: a case report and review of the literature of infections of the adrenal gland.
Review in International journal of endocrinology, 2014. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 33 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
Infections of the adrenal glands remain an important cause of adrenal insufficiency, especially in the developing world. Indeed, when Thomas Addison first described the condition that now bears his name over 150 years ago, the vast majority of cases were attributable to tuberculosis. Here we describe a classic, but relatively uncommon, presentation in the United States of adrenal insufficiency followed by a review of the current literature pertaining to adrenal infections.
