Mixed Corticomedullary Tumor of the Adrenal Gland: A Case Report and Literature Review.
Review in Medicina (Kaunas, Lithuania), 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 4 papers, 2 of them syntheses that pooled 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.
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 mixed corticomedullary tumors (MCMTs) are composed of an admixture of cortical and medullary cells. Owing to the presence of two distinct components of different embryonic lineage, these tumors are extremely rare. Less than 30 tumors of this type have been reported to date. MCMTs have varied presentation including hypertension, Cushing syndrome or even as adrenal incidentalomas. Also noted is a slightly higher female preponderance. We report a case of a 26-year-old female who was evaluated for uncontrolled hypertension. A renal ultrasound followed by MRI abdomen revealed a 9.3 × 8.1 × 7.0 cm partially cystic, partially solid enhancing mass in the region of/replacing the left adrenal gland. Hormonal work-up was significant for elevated catecholamines concerning pheochromocytoma. She underwent laparoscopic left adrenalectomy, with adequate pre-operative adrenergic blockade. Histology and immunochemical testing were consistent with a mixed corticomedullary tumor. She was monitored annually for recurrence of the tumor. We also performed a comprehensive review of literature of the cases published so far to the best of our knowledge.
