Adrenal cortical hyperplasia: diagnostic workup, subtypes, imaging features and mimics.
Review 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 13 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 cortical hyperplasia manifests radiologically as a non-malignant growth, or enlargement, of the adrenal glands, specifically the cortex, although the cortex cannot be definitively identified by conventional imaging. Controlled by the pituitary gland, the adrenal cortex drives critical processes, such as the production of cortisol, mineralocorticoid and sex hormones. Any disruption in the multiple enzymes and hormones involved in these pathways may cause serious or life-threatening symptoms, often associated with anatomical changes in the adrenal glands. Diagnosis and treatment of adrenal cortical hyperplasia requires a thorough clinical evaluation. As imaging has become more robust so has its role in the diagnosis and treatment of adrenal conditions. CT has been the primary modality for adrenal imaging owing to reproducibility, temporal and spatial resolution and broad access. MRI serves a complimentary role in adrenal imaging and can be used to further evaluate indeterminate CT findings or serve as an adjunct tool without the use of ionizing radiation. Ultrasound and fluoroscopy (genitography) are most commonly used in children and foetuses to evaluate congenital adrenal hyperplasia. This article will discuss the clinical presentation, laboratory workup and imaging features of adrenal cortical hyperplasia, both congenital and acquired.
