Adult neuroblastoma: a rare diagnosis of an adrenal mass.
Article in BMJ case reports, 2019. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 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
A 22-year-old woman presented to her local district hospital with left-sided abdominal pain. She denied any urinary or gastrointestinal symptoms. She had a CT scan of her abdomen which showed a probable 8×5×8 cm left-sided adrenal mass. Functional tests for hormone excess were negative. She was referred to a tertiary referral centre and given the size of the adrenal mass; she consented for laparoscopic left adrenalectomy. During the operation, the mass was grossly adherent to the celiac axis, left renal pedicle and DJ flexure. A small nodule posterior to the renal vein was also identified. The operation was completed laparoscopically and she made an uneventful recovery. The specimen was reported as a poorly differentiated neuroblastoma. She had a postoperative MIBG scan which was negative for residual or metastatic disease. She was commenced on platinum-based chemotherapy with a plan for further radiological follow-up.
