Metastasis of Melanoma to the Adrenal Glands: A Case Report and Literature Review.
Article in Cureus, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 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
Immune checkpoint inhibitors have significantly improved the prognosis of metastatic melanoma, but metastases to the adrenal glands remain highly resistant to these new treatments. Adrenal gland metastases from melanoma can present in an unusual manner, such as in this report, making it diagnostically and therapeutically challenging. In this case report, we present a patient with histologically confirmed metastatic melanoma to the adrenal glands, a large intracardiac mass suspicious for metastatic disease, and an inferior vena cava thrombus. We review the existing literature to explain the unique characteristics, clinical relevance, pathogenesis, diagnosis, and treatment of adrenal gland metastases from melanoma.
