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

aimAdrenal mass may be functioning or nonfunctioning with varied clinical presentations. This study aimed to report the nature and management of uncommon adrenal mass and to review literature. MATERIALS AND

methodsThis was an retrospective observational analysis of children with uncommon adrenal mass admitted during 2009-2015. Clinical features, investigations, and management of patients were analyzed.

resultsAmong six, two each were adolescent and neonate, and one each was young infant and prenatal. Clinical presentation was variable; hypertensive retinopathy,[1] virilization[1] and bleeding diathesis,[1] antenatal suprarenal mass,[1] prenatal adrenal angiolipoma,[1] and spontaneous resolution of Stage III suprarenal mass.[1] Ultrasound and contrast-enhanced computed tomography revealed well-defined, heterogeneous adrenal mass. Size varied from 2 to 15 cm. Urinary metanephrine and serum testosterone were raised in adolescent hypertensive boys and virilized girls, respectively. Laparoscopy-assisted adrenalectomy was done in two and other four were managed conservatively. Histopathology of tumor revealed pheochromocytoma and borderline oncocytoma. Spontaneous resolution of adrenal mass had varied etiology; adrenal hemorrhagic lesion,[1] simple cyst,[1] neuroblastoma.[1] Follow-up varied from 3 months to 2 years. All patients were asymptomatic on last follow-up.

conclusionClose clinical follow-up, contrast-enhanced tomography, and limited/specific endocrine work-up have definite role in the management of uncommon adrenal mass.
