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 53-year-old man complaining of pain in the right hypochondrium underwent an abdominal ultrasound that showed a left adrenal lesion. Further instrumental investigations (CT and MRI, both with contrast medium) were performed which diagnosed an adrenal ganglioneuroma, confirmed by the histological examination. The patient also underwent an endocrinological examination. The treatment was surgical and consisted of an adrenalectomy through video-laparoscopic access. Adrenal ganglioneuromas are rare tumors but well described and known in the literature. For this reason, this case report has primarily an educational purpose: the totality of the data collected (clinical, laboratoristic, instrumental, and histopathological) constituted a multidisciplinary case, with the focus on imaging.
