Adrenal Incidentaloma: Challenges in Diagnosing Adrenal Myelolipoma.
Article in Journal of investigative medicine high impact case reports. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 9 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 myelolipomas (AMLs) are rare benign adrenal tumors, containing adipose and hematopoietic tissue, a result of reticuloendothelial cell metaplasia. Incidence on autopsy has been reported from 0.08% to 0.4%. AMLs are generally considered nonsecretory. The functional aspect of adrenal incidentaloma should be evaluated. In this article, we report a case of a 40-year-old male, who presented with uncontrolled hypertension and renal failure, with imaging revealing an adrenal incidentaloma. He was started on dialysis for acute fluid overload, and workup for pheochromocytoma revealed an elevated serum norepinephrine level of 1181 pg/mL. Free metanephrine and normetanephrine levels were low when checked pre- and post-dialysis. Complete resection of the encapsulated right adrenal mass was performed. Pathology of the adrenal tumor demonstrates an 11.5 × 9.5 × 7.5 cm well-circumscribed, partially encapsulated proliferation of mature adipose tissue with admixed hemopoietic elements consistent with myelolipoma weighing 29.3 g. This case highlights the inclusion of a full metabolic workup for all adrenal incidentalomas, including AML.
