Mature Adrenal Ganglioneuroma With Lipomatous Content: A Radiological and Histopathological Diagnostic Challenge.
Article in Cureus, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 papers.
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
Adrenal incidentalomas are increasingly identified through advanced imaging, posing diagnostic challenges due to their varied benign and malignant nature. We present the case of a 29-year-old male who, during evaluation for left renal colic, was found to have a 5.5 cm heterogeneous right adrenal mass on non-contrast CT, initially suggestive of a myelolipoma. Subsequent contrast-enhanced CT supported this diagnosis. However, due to the size of the mass and potential complications, the patient underwent a robotic-assisted adrenalectomy. Histopathological examination unexpectedly revealed a 6.5 cm adrenal ganglioneuroma. This case highlights the difficulties in accurately diagnosing adrenal incidentalomas based solely on imaging, as the features of ganglioneuromas and myelolipomas can occasionally overlap significantly. Ultimately, while imaging plays a critical role in initial assessment, definitive diagnosis often requires histological analysis, underscoring the challenges posed by adrenal incidentalomas in clinical practice.
