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

The presentation of adrenocortical carcinoma (ACC) with bilateral adrenal masses and acute adrenal insufficiency is exceedingly rare and has only been seen in anecdotal case reports. Herein, we describe the case of a 50-year-old male who presented with a painful abdominal lump, loss of weight and appetite, several episodes of vomiting, and hypotension. Imaging studies were suggestive of bilateral adrenal masses and a lung mass. Hormonal work-up was suggestive of acute adrenal insufficiency, with the adrenal masses being non-secretory. An ultrasound-guided biopsy from one of the adrenal masses was suggestive of ACC, thus confirming the diagnosis as bilateral ACC with distant metastases. Bilateral adrenalectomy was planned for the patient, but unfortunately, he succumbed to his disease before the surgery.
