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

Background: The correlation between fibrinogen levels and adrenocortical carcinoma (ACC) remains unclear. This study aimed to explore the value of preoperative plasma fibrinogen as a biomarker for ACC. Methods: We identified 40 patients with ACC and 170 patients with adrenal adenoma (AA) who underwent surgery at our institution between 2015 and 2022. Plasma fibrinogen levels and postoperative tumor recurrence information of the patients were also recorded. For intergroup comparisons, data obtained from the AA and ACC groups were evaluated using a Results: Mean fibrinogen levels in the AA and ACC groups were 2.81 ± 0.59 g/L and 3.88 ± 1.75 g/L, respectively ( Conclusion: According to the data in this study, plasma fibrinogen could be used to distinguish ACC from AA. Most importantly, plasma fibrinogen may be used to identify recurrence of postoperative ACC.
