Recurrent bilateral adrenal infarction with myelodysplastic/myeloproliferative neoplasm-unclassifiable (MDS/MPN-U): a case report.
Article in BMC endocrine disorders, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 6 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
backgroundBilateral adrenal infarction is rare and only a small number of cases have been reported so far. Adrenal infarction is usually caused by thrombophilia or a hypercoagulable state, such as antiphospholipid antibody syndrome, pregnancy, and coronavirus disease 2019. However, adrenal infarction with myelodysplastic/myeloproliferative neoplasm (MDS/MPN) has not been reported. CASE PRESENTATION: An 81-year-old man with a sudden severe bilateral backache presented to our hospital. Contrast-enhanced computed tomography (CT) led to the diagnosis of bilateral adrenal infarction. Previously reported causes of adrenal infarction were all excluded and a diagnosis of MDS/MPN-unclassifiable (MDS/MPN-U) was reached, which was considered to be attributed to adrenal infarction. He developed a relapse of bilateral adrenal infarction, and aspirin administration was initiated. Partial primary adrenal insufficiency was suspected as the serum adrenocorticotropic hormone level was persistently high after the second bilateral adrenal infarction.
conclusionThis is the first case of bilateral adrenal infarction with MDS/MPN-U encountered. MDS/MPN has the clinical characteristics of MPN. It is reasonable to assume that MDS/MPN-U may have influenced bilateral adrenal infarction development, considering the absence of thrombosis history and a current comorbid hypercoagulable disease. This is also the first case of recurrent bilateral adrenal infarction. It is important to carefully investigate the underlying cause of adrenal infarction once adrenal infarction is diagnosed, as well as to assess adrenocortical function.
