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

BACKGROUND Ganglioneuroma is a rare benign sympathetic chain neoplasm which rarely arise from the adrenal gland in adults and exceedingly rare for ganglioneuroma to arise from different origins in the same patient. We present a rare case of retroperitoneal ganglioneuroma concurring with an adrenal ganglioneuroma in an adult patient. CASE REPORT A 17-year-old healthy male underwent computed tomography (CT) scan after road traffic accident where he was found to have a left adrenal homogeneous hypovascular lesion with another retroperitoneal lesion seen within the right para-colic gutter with similar radiological features. Successful surgical resection was obtained, and histological diagnosis of both lesions was benign ganglioneuroma. CONCLUSIONS Adrenal and extra-adrenal ganglioneuroma can, although rare, concur together. Key findings are the similar radiological appearance of the lesions with typical hypovascular progressive pattern of enhancement. Appropriate pre-surgical diagnosis can aid to proper management since ganglioneuroma needs wide surgical resection due to its high chance of recurrence.
