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 cysts are a rare benign adrenal pathology. Although the majority of adrenal cysts are asymptomatic, large cysts may present with debilitating symptoms of mass effect. Surgical adrenalectomy or cyst fenestration has been the primary mode of management for such symptomatic cysts, but these interventions can be associated with excessive morbidity, particularly when considered in the context of benign disease. Here, we present a case of a 34-year-old female with a longstanding, growing, benign left adrenal cyst associated with nonspecific abdominal symptoms. After multidisciplinary discussion, the patient was managed with primary ultrasound/fluoroscopic guided percutaneous sclerotherapy of her adrenal cyst. This technique achieved complete cyst resolution that was durable on 7-month follow-up and was associated with significant improvement of the patient's symptoms. This case illustrates the potential for primary percutaneous sclerotherapy for primary management of benign adrenal cysts.
