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.
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
objectivesThis study aims to determine the normal range of values of the right, left, and total volume and shape of the adrenal gland (AG) and to evaluate its relationship with gender, age, height, weight, body mass index (BMI), and waist circumference (WC) in multidetector computed tomography (MDCT) images.
methodsThe study included 115 MDCT scans, of which 56 were men and 59 were women. For volume measurement, the outlines of the AG were drawn semi-automatically for all patients. Then, collecting the area in each slice, the volumes were automatically measured. The intraclass correlation coefficient (ICC) test was used to analyze intraobserver reliability for repeated measurements with a 95% confidence interval. Participant's age, gender, weight, height, BMI, and WC were obtained.
resultsThe mean age of participants was 49.5±17.7 (19-81). The average right AGV (RAGV), left AGV (LAGV), and total AGV were 3.47±1.33, 4.77±1.33, and 8.25±2.74, respectively. The ICC values for all measurements were >0.80-0.90, indicating good and excellent agreement. LAGV was measured as higher than the RAGV. A positive moderate correlation of the AGVs with BMI and WC was observed.
conclusionThe increase in BMI and WC, which are indicators of obesity, correlates with the increase in AGV, we think that the findings will be valuable in evaluating the pathophysiology of the hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal axis.
