Obesity Might Persistently Increase Adrenal Gland Volume: a Preliminary Study.
Article in Obesity surgery, 2020. 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
objectivesThis study aimed to investigate the association of obesity with adrenal gland volume (AGV) and the effects of weight loss on AGV.
methodsThis study included obese patients (N = 25) who underwent sleeve gastrectomy and age- and sex-matched healthy volunteers (HVs) (N = 25) and overweight healthy volunteers (overweight-HVs) (N = 21). Thin-slice computed tomography was used to evaluate adrenal morphological changes. AGV was measured semiautomatically based on the digital imaging and communications in medicine (DICOM) image. The effects of weight loss on AGV and adrenal gland density were evaluated in patients for 1 year or more after sleeve gastrectomy.
resultsLeft, right, and total AGV were 6.77 ± 0.36, 5.76 ± 0.31, and 12.53 ± 0.64 cm
conclusionsObesity leads to increased AGV, and in some cases, this effect seems to be irreversible. The clinical implication of obesity-induced adrenal morphological changes needs to be studied further.
