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
Background: Ectopic cortisol-producing adrenocortical adenoma (ECPA) is extremely rare, with only a few cases reported. Retroperitoneal schwannoma is also uncommon, accounting for only 0.7-5% of all schwannomas. It is peculiar to have both conditions at the same time, and it is intriguing to explore their possible connection. Herein, we present a case of both ECPA and retroperitoneal schwannoma and provide our conjectures regarding their co-occurrence. Case Presentation: A 38-year-old female presented with a two-year history of facial and lower limb edema, as well as chest tightness and palpitations for the past four months. Physical examination revealed hypertension, a high body mass index (BMI), moon face, thick neck and back fat, abdominal obesity, and purple striae on the abdomen. Laboratory tests indicated an persistent increased cortisol level and suppression of adrenocorticotropic hormone (ACTH). Adrenal-enhanced computed tomography (CT) scan showed that both adrenal glands appeared normal without evident adenomas or hyperplasia. However, the scan revealed two lesions located in the right renal hilum and retroperitoneal area positioned anteriorly to the lower margin of the lumbar 2 pyramid. Further imaging using Conclusion: Our literature reported a case with the diagnosis of both ECPA in the right renal hilum and retroperitoneal schwannoma.
