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 incidentalomas (AIs) are common incidental findings in medical practice with clinical significance. Although most AIs are nonsecretory and nonmalignant, they require a short course of follow-up over one to two years to rule out malignancy or hormonal secretion according to clinical practice guidelines. However, this can result in some adrenocortical carcinomas (ACCs) being missed if they transform at a later stage or evolve slowly. Here, we report one such case of an AI, which although remained indolent, eventually transformed into an ACC many years after the initial detection.
