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

Introduction: Adrenal cysts are relatively rare and often asymptomatic. Surgical treatment is indicated for symptomatic cases with cysts >6 cm, suspected bleeding, and those that cannot be distinguished from malignant illness based on imaging findings. There have often been cases of giant cysts that were difficult to treat using laparoscopic surgery. Case presentation: A 39-year-old woman presented with fever and upper abdominal pain. Abdominal computed tomography and magnetic resonance imaging revealed a 95 × 80-mm left adrenal cyst. As malignant disease could not be ruled out, and the patient was symptomatic, we opted for robot-assisted left adrenalectomy. The pathological findings indicated an adrenal pseudocyst. Conclusions: This is the second report of the successful robot-assisted removal of a giant adrenal cyst.
