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

introductionAdrenal incidentalomas are tumors found accidentally by imaging. Among the incidentalomas, hemangiomas are quite rare and in certain cases their surgical intervention should never be overlooked. PRESENTATION OF CASE: We present a case of 70 years old Lebanese female with an adrenal tumor presented as syncope found to have anemia on presentation and a bleeding 17 cm adrenal tumor on imaging. Patient had workup to rule out functioning adrenal tumors and decision to excise the tumor was taken after failure of embolization. Pathology report denied malignancy despite of the huge size and was in favor of hemangioma.

conclusionAdrenal hemangiomas are rare and they rarely present as syncope. Attention to such a life-threatening condition should be sustained. Embolization is primarily implied but one should never neglect the failure rate and the need for surgical intervention.
