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 diseases pose significant diagnostic challenges due to the wide range of neoplastic and non-neoplastic pathologies. Radiologists have a crucial role in diagnosing and managing these conditions by, leveraging advanced imaging techniques. This review discusses the vital role of computed tomography (CT), magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), and nuclear medicine in adrenal imaging, and focuses on morphological and functional evaluations. First, the anatomy and physiology of the adrenal glands are described, followed by a discussion on ectopic adrenocortical adenomas and how they develop. The concepts and imaging findings of congenital diseases, such as congenital adrenal hyperplasia (CAH), adrenal rest tumors, and adrenocortical nodular disease, considering recent updates to the WHO Classification of Tumours (5th ed.) terminology are highlighted. The diagnostic value of dynamic contrast-enhanced CT and chemical-shift MRI for identifying adrenocortical adenomas are emphasized, alongside the use of adrenocortical scintigraphy such as
