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

Responsible for 2% of global cancer diagnoses, renal cell carcinoma (RCC) can metastasize to almost every organ system; however, metastasis to the contralateral adrenal gland is extremely rare. We report the case of a 59-year-old male who presented with atypical chest pain and altered mental status. The patient developed hypotension, with hyponatremia raising concern for adrenal insufficiency (AI). We confirmed a diagnosis of AI secondary to adrenal metastasis in the setting of radical nephrectomy with ipsilateral adrenalectomy, and the patient's symptoms resolved with adequate treatment. This report emphasizes the importance of complications caused by metastatic disease to the remaining adrenal gland in patients with RCC who have undergone ipsilateral radical nephrectomy.
