May an adrenal incidentaloma change its nature?
Article in Journal of endocrinological investigation, 2020. 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
backgroundUp to 70% of adrenal masses detected in patients affected by extra-adrenal malignancy are metastatic lesions. Therefore, detection of an adrenal mass in patients with active or previous malignancy requires a careful differential diagnostic workup. CLINICAL CASE: We report the case of a 64-year-old man who had a single adrenal metastasis due to non-small-cell lung carcinoma developing on a pre-existing benign adrenal lesion. This metastasis occurred in a phase of perceived oncological remission and was detected thanks to
conclusionThe present case highlights the peculiarity of the follow-up of adrenal masses in cancer patients and the primary role of
