An exceedingly rare adrenal collision tumor: adrenal adenoma-metastatic breast cancer-myelolipoma.
Article in Journal of community hospital internal medicine perspectives, 2017. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 7 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 collision tumors (ACTs), in which distinct tumors coexist without histological intermingling in the same adrenal gland, are rare and their actual prevalence is unknown. ACTs commonly consist of adrenal cortical adenoma, myelolipoma, or metastatic malignant tumor. We report a 58-year-old woman with a past history of breast cancer, who presented with a 1 month history of fevers, chills, and abdominal fullness. The physical examination and the laboratory data including endocrine studies were unremarkable. Computed tomography of the abdomen showed a right adrenal gland mass, and a laparoscopic right adrenalectomy was performed. Histological and immunohistochemical examinations revealed three distinct tumors: an adrenal cortical adenoma, a myelolipoma, and metastatic breast tumors. Breast cancer metastases are rare in the adrenal gland and exist as ACTs only in exceptionally rare cases. To our knowledge, this is the first reported case of coexisting metastatic breast tumors, adrenal adenoma, and myelolipoma in the same adrenal gland.
