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

Background: Oncocytomas are uncommon benign tumors that arise in various organs and are predominantly composed of oncocytes. Adrenocortical oncocytomas are extremely rare and are generally non-functioning. Methods: We report the case of a 40-year-old patient with a progressively enlarging left adrenal mass. At the age of 19 he had undergone right adrenalectomy for a cortisol-secreting adenoma. Radiologic features were not typical of an adenoma and positive uptake was detected at Results: The surgeon managed to remove the left adrenal mass, sparing the normal adrenal gland, and histology was consistent with adrenocortical oncocytoma. Corticosteroid supplementation was prescribed, but at reassessment, adrenal function was found to be preserved and treatment withdrawn. Conclusions: Adrenal oncocytoma is a rare diagnosis, but should be considered in the presence of a growing mass with non-specific radiologic appearance.
