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

Adrenal collision tumors refer to coexistence of two adjacent, but histologically distinct, neoplasms involving the adrenal gland without histologic admixture at the interface. Myelolipoma is a rare but benign neoplasm. As its name implies, displays both mature adipose tissue and hematopoietic elements. These are usually unilateral and asymptomatic. Schwannomas, tumors derived from the peripheral nerve sheath, are also uncommon lesions in the adrenal gland. Here, we present a rare case of a 65-year-old male with clinical history of abdominal aortic aneurysm who was found to have a 13-cm "incidentaloma" by interventional radiologist during his aortic endograft control. Giving the size of the mass, team decided to excise it, and histopathological examination was performed. While most incidentally discovered adrenal tumors are benign, surgical excision is recommended in large lesions to exclude malignancy, avoid hemorrhage, and/or acute adrenal insufficiency. Given the rarity of such entity, its clinical course and prognosis remains unclear.
