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

Adrenal hemorrhage (AH) is associated with trauma, acute stress, sepsis, coagulopathy, pregnancy, neonatal stress, and underlying adrenal masses, which can include metastases, pheochromocytomas, adrenocortical cancers, or hematomas. However, the literature on nontraumatic AH secondary to an adenoma in the setting of chronic anticoagulation is limited. We present a case report of a patient found to have AH from an incidental adrenal adenoma associated with the use of warfarin in the setting of a recent history of pulmonary embolism requiring anticoagulation. In a patient who presents with AH while on anticoagulation, initial management should include reversal of coagulopathy, supportive care with serial hematocrits and blood transfusions as necessary, and biochemical workup to assess for functional tumors. However, aggressive surgical management with adrenalectomy should ideally follow for those patients who will require long-term anticoagulation to minimize future risk for rebleeding.
