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

Adrenal schwannoma is a rare tumor of Schwann cell origin that represents less than 0.2% of all adrenal tumors. These typically benign tumors are most often found in the head, neck, and limbs. However, schwannomas can also rarely occur rarely in the adrenal gland within the retroperitoneal cavity. In the adrenal gland, these tumors arise from the medulla and are difficult to diagnose, often misdiagnosed as other benign or malignant entities. In this article, we report the case of a 43-year-old female with a large left adrenal mass revealed by biopsy to be a schwannoma. We focus on the use of radiological imaging modalities and immunohistochemical analysis to optimize diagnosis and treatment intervention of this rare tumor.
