1 · What the graph read from it

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.

2 · The registry

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

introductionAdrenal myelolipoma with extramedullary hematopoiesis (EMH) is a rare condition. CASE PRESENTATION: We report a case of 48-year-old woman suffering from recurrent right hypochondrial pain for two years. Laboratory work-up revealed chronic microcytic iron deficiency anemia with beta thalassemia trait, right adrenal myelolipoma with histopathological evidence of hematopoietic cells (EMH). The patient underwent open resection of the adrenal gland and the post-operative course was uneventful.

conclusionsEMH could be presented with several clinical hematological disorders. Surgical management becomes inevitable in certain adrenal EMH cases especially in the presence of a large adrenal mass.
