Evaluation of adrenal tumors and analysis of the metabolic profile of patients with incidentaloma.
Article in Revista do Colegio Brasileiro de Cirurgioes, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 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
introductionAdvances in imaging methods have led to an increasingly frequent diagnosis of adrenal gland lesions as incidental findings. Despite progress in this field, there is still limited information regarding the epidemiology of the clinical and metabolic profile of patients with adrenal incidentaloma (AI). The objective is analyze the epidemiology of adrenal tumors at Gaffrée e Guinle University Hospital (HUGG) and compare it with data from the literature.
methodThis is a cross-sectional study that included patients of any gender and age who was treated at HUGG for adrenal tumors.
resultsThe following variables were evaluated: age, gender, functionality, benignity, and size. We also analyzed the metabolic profile of patients with AI, specifically those with mild autonomy cortisol secretion. Out of 31 patients with adrenal tumors, 68% were female. The mean age was 55 years with a standard deviation of ±16.2. 54% of the sample had adrenal incidentalomas. 93.6% of the sample had benign cases. Among the adrenal incidentalomas, 53% were non-functioning. In patients with adrenal tumors, only 10% had metabolic syndrome, while in patients with mild autonomous cortisol secretion, this number rose to 17%.
conclusionThe sample of patients with adrenal tumors and incidentaloma at HUGG presented a prevalence of metabolic complications similar to that found in the literature.
