Primary teratoma of the adrenal gland: a case report.
Article in Translational cancer research, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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
Background: Teratomas are unusual tumors derived from multiple germ layers but they usually arise from all three germ layers. Knowledge of this disease is still very limited because of its low incidence. Retroperitoneal teratomas are extremely rare neoplasms, especially adrenal teratomas, which frequently found to be large, cystic or cyst-solid lesions. Adrenal teratomas are easily confused with various benign or malignant tumors, such as myelolipomas, adenomas, and hamartomas. Case Description: In this case presentation, we report a rare case in which an adrenal gland mass without apparent discomfort was detected by abdominal computed tomography (CT) for 6 months in a 59-year-old female. Results from the patient's adrenal hormonal evaluation were normal. An abdominal enhanced CT scan revealed a heterogeneous mass in the right adrenal gland. The patient then underwent a laparoscopic right adrenalectomy and the lesion was diagnosed as mature teratoma through histopathological examination. The patient recovered well without any complications. Conclusions: Based on our knowledge, surgical resection is the first-choice intervention for the diagnosis and treatment of mature teratoma. Open surgery is the preferred method for the large tumors, while the laparoscopic adrenalectomy can be a better option in the small one. The patient's prognosis is usually good after complete resection, but close follow-up is also recommended.
