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

This case report presents a rare instance of synchronous adrenal ganglioneuroma and an ipsilateral retroperitoneal mass in a 51-year-old woman with episodic hypertensive crises and increased symptom frequency. Imaging revealed a hypodense mass near the right kidney and an additional adrenal mass, which led to surgical intervention. Laboratory findings indicated hypercortisolism, and both masses were surgically removed by the laparoscopy approach. Postoperative pathology identified both masses as maturing-type ganglioneuroma, with no signs of malignancy or complications. This case highlights the diagnostic and therapeutic challenges of such rare presentations and emphasizes the importance of detailed imaging, surgical excision, and histopathological analysis. The potential link between elevated cortisol levels and ganglioneuroma, as observed here, underscores the need for further research into these benign tumors.
