Sclerosing angiomatoid nodular transformation of the spleen presenting rapid growth after adrenalectomy: Report of a case.
Article in International journal of surgery case reports, 2017. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 6 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
introductionSclerosing angiomatoid nodular transformation (SANT) is a rare benign lesion with an unknown natural history and pathogenesis. So far fewer than 100 cases were documented, but detailed incidence and prevalence are unknown. PRESENTATION OF CASE: We report a case of SANT of the spleen in a 37-year-old man that showed rapid growth after adrenalectomy for primary aldosteronism. Computed tomography showed a nodule in the spleen that increased in size from 2.0cm to 7.0cm during 3 years of observation. DISCUSSION: This case is reported because data regarding growth rates and natural history of these lesions are limited and few cases have been reported to show the rapid growth progression seen in this case.
conclusionDecreases in glucocorticoid concentrations following adrenalectomy may have contributed to the rapid growth of SANT of the spleen, because SANT is considered to be related to immunoglobulin G4-associated disease.
