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

Castleman disease (CD) is a heterogeneous hematological condition characterized by distinctive histopathological features. The etiology remains unclear, and clinical symptoms are generally nonspecific. CD can occur in any location containing lymphatic tissue, with the mediastinum being the most common site, while adrenal involvement is rare. Adrenal CD is typically incidentally discovered during physical examination, commonly affecting one side. Imaging studies often make it challenging to differentiate from common adrenal tumors, necessitating pathological confirmation. Surgical intervention is the preferred treatment, and the prognosis is generally favorable. This paper presents a rare case of a left adrenal mass, which was diagnosed as Castleman disease following surgical resection.
