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 capillary hemangiomas are an extremely rare tumor type, and no previous studies have described their features using dynamic contrast-enhanced computed tomography. We report the case of a 65-year-old male patient with a history of right partial nephrectomy for renal clear cell carcinoma. During follow-up, computed tomography scans revealed growth of a right adrenal nodule. On contrast-enhanced computed tomography, the adrenal tumor showed peripheral nodular and progressive central enhancements in the early and delayed phases, respectively. No evidence of metastasis to other organs appeared on computed tomography, and hormone levels showed no elevation in the blood test results. Histopathological examination of the resected adrenal tumor specimen confirmed the presence of clusters of thin-walled vessels, leading to a diagnosis of adrenal capillary hemangioma. This case suggests that adrenal capillary hemangiomas can present imaging findings similar to those previously reported for cavernous adrenal, other adrenal, and capillary hemangiomas originating from other organs.
