Recommendations for the management of adrenal incidentalomas: what is pertinent for radiologists?
Guideline in The British journal of radiology, 2017. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 15 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
Adrenal incidentalomas are unsuspected, asymptomatic adrenal masses detected on imaging. Most are non-functioning benign adrenocortical adenomas but can represent other benign lesions or lesions requiring therapeutic intervention including adrenocortical carcinoma, pheochromocytoma, hormone-producing adenoma or metastasis. This review summarizes and highlights radiological recommendations within the recently issued guidelines for the management of adrenal incidentalomas from the European Society of Endocrinology Clinical Practice in collaboration with the European Network for Study of Adrenal Tumours. Four pre-defined clinical questions were addressed in the guidelines and two have specific relevance and implications for radiologists: (1) how to assess risk of malignancy on imaging and (2) what follow-up is indicated if an adrenal incidentaloma is not surgically removed? The guidelines also include recommendations for frequently encountered special circumstances, including bilateral incidentalomas, incidentalomas in patients with extra-adrenal malignancy and in the young and elderly patients. This review highlights radiological recommendations within the guidelines and evidence used for formulating the guidelines.
