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 Ganglioneuroma (AGN) is a rare benign tumor that is mostly nonfunctioning and usually presents without significant clinical symptoms. AGN can undergo calcification, but rarely presents with hemorrhage, necrosis, or cystic changes. This article reports two cases of adrenal ganglioneuroma. One patient had normal clinical and biochemical parameters but presented with hypertension; the other patient had elevated cortisol levels and the tumor exhibited liquefactive necrosis, which is extremely rare in AGN. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first report of adrenal ganglioneuroma with simultaneous localized hemangiomatous proliferation and liquefactive necrosis within the tumor. AGN cannot be definitively diagnosed by imaging alone; a pathological examination is required for a final diagnosis. Both patients in this report underwent laparoscopic tumor resection, and their postoperative recovery was satisfactory.
