Differential diagnostic value of plain CT scan in adrenal adenoma and non-adenoma: A two-center control study of mean attenuation value, minimum attenuation value, and CT histogram.
Article in Frontiers in endocrinology, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 5 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
Objectives: To investigate the value of mean attenuation value (AV Methods: The plain CT data of 403 cases of adrenal adenoma and 141 cases of non-adenoma in center A were retrospectively analyzed, and compared with data of 86 cases of adenoma and 71 cases of non-adenoma in center B. All cases were confirmed by pathology or clinical follow-up. The diagnostic efficacy of AV Results: In medical centers A and B, the AUC of AV Conclusion: AV
