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

A 56-year-old man presented with a history of hypertension; clinically, the patient had primary aldosteronism (PA) and a 4-cm left adrenal tumor. The left adrenal glands, resected by adrenalectomy, also contained ectopic thyroid tissue (ETT). An immunohistochemical analysis of steroid-converting enzymes revealed an aldosterone-producing adenoma (APA). Among 19 previously reported cases of adrenal ETT, 4 had adrenal hormonal abnormalities, all of which were PA. This is the first case of adrenal ETT coexisting with APA, confirmed by steroid-converting enzyme expression. Further analyses using cumulative case data are required to clarify the correlation between adrenal ETT and APA.
