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

Bilateral adrenal hemorrhage is a rare condition, which is burdened by potentially life-threatening consequences related to the development of acute adrenal insufficiency. Despite treatment with stress-dose glucocorticoids, a mortality rate of 15% has been reported, which varies according to the severity of underlying predisposing illness and could be much more higher if the adrenal insufficiency is not promptly recognized. An early diagnosis is crucial, though, because of nonspecific clinical and laboratory findings, adrenal hemorrhage is rarely suspected. Therefore, imaging has a pivotal role for the diagnosis of this uncommon condition but, despite adrenal hematomas characteristically appear round or oval with peripheral fat stranding, their initial presentation could be ambiguous. The authors describe a case of postoperative bilateral adrenal hemorrhage initially presenting at computed tomography scan as thickening of both glands surrounded by fat stranding, which led to close monitoring of adrenal function before unequivocal hemorrhage developed.
