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

A 23-year-old man was incidentally diagnosed on CT scan with a 6.4 cm right adrenal mass during workup for acute abdominal pain, with interval growth to 9.4 cm over 3 months. Given the mass size and concern for potential malignancy, a right open adrenalectomy was performed. Pathologic evaluation confirmed a diagnosis of adrenal ganglioneuroma (AG) and the patient exhibited an unremarkable postoperative course. AGs are rare, benign tumors of the adrenal gland. Diagnosis is made by histopathologic assessment, and management of larger AGs is nearly always surgical given radiographic similarities between AG and malignancy. Adrenalectomy is generally curative for AG.
