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 hemangiomas are rare, non-functional vascular tumors often discovered incidentally and frequently mistaken for malignant adrenal masses. We present a 49-year-old man with an asymptomatic, hypervascular right adrenal lesion detected on routine imaging. Although hormonal evaluation was normal and the likelihood of malignancy was low, radiologic features could not definitively exclude a neoplasm. The patient underwent laparoscopic partial adrenalectomy with uneventful recovery. Histopathology confirmed adrenal hemangioma. This case highlights the diagnostic challenges of hypervascular adrenal masses and considerations for adrenal-sparing surgical management.
