Two Cases of Adrenal Malignancy With Macroscopic Fat.
Article in JCEM case reports, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
The presence of macroscopic fat on computed tomography (CT) imaging has been traditionally regarded as an indication that an adrenal lesion is likely to be a benign myelolipoma, for which further investigation is not usually required. Two cases are described where an adrenal lesion was eventually found to be malignant on histology (adrenocortical carcinoma in the first case, undifferentiated sarcoma in the second case), despite the presence of macroscopic fat on CT. In both cases there were other clinical and radiological indicators of potential malignant pathology. These cases add to increasing awareness in the literature that malignant adrenal tumors may rarely contain macroscopic fat, emphasizing a need for clinical vigilance.
