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

Background: An adrenal collision tumor is a rare entity. We present a rare combination of giant adrenal ganglioneuroma (GN) and myelolipoma. GN is a rare benign tumor of the adrenal medulla that originates from primitive neural crest cells, while myelolipoma is a benign tumor of the adrenal cortex comprising of mature adipose tissue and blood components. Case Report: We present a case of a 52-year-old male who presented with generalized body swelling with episodes of vomiting and diarrhea. There was no history of abdominal pain or any significant history. Routine laboratory investigations and endocrine workup were within normal limits. MRI was performed for unexplained symptoms, and which revealed a solid homogeneous mass measuring 9x7x4.5cm arising from the adrenal gland. A diagnosis of myxoid adrenocortical neoplasm was suggested, and laparoscopic left adrenalectomy was performed based on imaging findings. The final diagnosis of coexisting giant adrenal GN with myelolipoma was made on histopathological examination, which was further confirmed by immunohistochemistry. Conclusion: Ganglioneuroma coexistence with myelolipoma is a rare finding in the adrenal gland. Therefore, histopathology is imperative in such cases for a definitive diagnosis.
