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

A 33-year-old female presented to us with a left adrenal cystic tumor with a maximum diameter of 70 mm. Because malignant tumor and pheochromocytoma could not be excluded, she underwent left laparoscopic transperitoneal adrenalectomy. The cystic tumor was stored to an endoscopically inactive treatment device and was subsequently punctured within the device; thus, tumor removal could be performed with minimum incision. Pathological findings showed highly suggestive of a cystic lymphangioma. The punctate was found to have an extremely high catecholamine titer. To avoid unnecessarily exposing the tumor contents, the treatment approach described in this report is reasonable and worth reporting.
