Ectopic adrenal tissue in the mesosalpinx of an older female: the fourth case report in the literature.
Article in Oxford medical case reports, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 4 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
Ectopic adrenal tissue is a rare finding often encountered incidentally during histopathological examinations. The most common site is the genitourinary tract and pelvis, and more frequently in males than females. Ectopic adrenal tissue is primarily found in neonates and is extremely rare in adults. Although it is an unexpected entity, pathologists should be aware of it because it may be confused with metastasis of clear cell renal carcinoma. To the best of our knowledge, only three cases of ectopic adrenal tissue in the mesosalpinx of the fallopian tube have been reported in the medical literature, making this case the fourth one. In our report, we discussed an ectopic adrenal tissue that was discovered incidentally in the mesosalpinx of an older female.
