Allelic Variant of Armadillo Repeat Containing Protein 5 (ARMC5) in Myelolipoma Mimicking Pheochromocytoma: A Case Report.
Article in Cureus, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 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
Adrenal myelolipomas are benign adrenocortical tumors composed of adipose tissue mixed with hematopoietic precursor cells. An association of myelolipoma with adrenal cortical adenoma is rare and the pathogenesis of these tumors remains unclear. Here we present a case of an incidentally discovered adrenal tumor with radiologic characteristics of a myelolipoma who underwent adrenalectomy due to biochemical suspicion for pheochromocytoma. The final pathology, however, revealed a myelolipoma with a co-existing adrenal cortical adenoma without evidence of pheochromocytoma. Genetic analysis revealed the presence of a hitherto unreported heterozygous variant, c.329C>A (p.Ala110Asp), of the armadillo repeat-containing protein 5 (ARMC5) gene which when inactivated is commonly associated with bilateral adrenal nodularity.
