Imaging incidental adrenal lesions.
Review in The British journal of radiology, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 6 papers.
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
Incidental adrenal masses are among the most common incidental lesions detected on cross-sectional imaging. The majority are benign lesions, adenomas and myelolipomas being the most common. Simple cross-sectional imaging techniques using CT and MRI permit the characterization of over 80%, thereby requiring no further imaging. The remaining lesions are considered indeterminate. These lesions consist of benign and malignant lesions sharing imaging features. Further imaging and management of these indeterminate lesions should be guided by close collaboration between different specialists in an MDT setting. Advanced imaging options include dedicated adrenal scintigraphy, positron emission tomography CT, biopsy and surveillance. Biochemical and hormonal evaluation is also important to identify hyperfunctioning adrenal lesions. This review focuses on imaging features of benign and malignant adrenal masses used for characterization and suggests an imaging pathway for indeterminate adrenal masses.
