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

Adrenocortical carcinoma (ACC) is a rare malignancy with an estimated annual incidence of 0.7-2 cases per million. Most patients present with steroid hormone excess or abdominal mass effects, but 15% of patients with ACC are diagnosed incidentally. A careful history, physical exam, and pertinent lab investigations are necessary to reach the diagnosis. Surgical resection is the cornerstone of treatment in localized ACC; however, systemic chemotherapy with mitotane is preferred in patients with widespread disease or those who are not ideal candidates for surgery.
