Incidental findings of ectopic adrenal cortical tissue in the umbilical hernia sac and uterine wall: report of two cases in adult females.
Article in Journal of surgical case reports, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. An erratum has been issued. 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
Ectopic adrenal cortex is rare and usually found incidentally along the gestational migration path of the urogenital organs. It is rare in adult females, and most reported cases have been in male children. We report two cases of incidental ectopic adrenal cortex in 35- and 72-year-old women found in the hernia sac and uterine serosa, respectively. Histopathological and immunohistochemical analysis confirmed the diagnosis in both cases. Awareness of ectopic adrenal tissue is essential to avoid misdiagnosis, particularly in oncology patients where it may be mistaken for metastatic disease. Routine pathological examination of excised tissues can enhance early recognition and improve diagnostic accuracy.
