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 teratomas are rare neoplasms, most often benign but with potential for malignant transformation, particularly in the pediatric population. A seven-year-old girl from kawasoti, Nepal, presented with intermittent right-sided abdominal pain for 2 months, initially attributed to dietary factors such as junk food intake. Ultrasonography revealed a large right suprarenal mass measuring 10.4 × 8.2 cm with internal calcifications. Contrast-enhanced computed tomography demonstrated a heterogeneous lobulated lesion containing fat, fluid, and calcifications in the right suprarenal region, displacing adjacent structures. The mass was surgically excised via exploratory laparotomy with complete excision of the right-sided retroperitoneal adrenal mass. Intraoperative findings revealed an 11 × 8 cm firm, encapsulated mass with dense adhesions to the inferior vena cava. Histopathological examination confirmed the diagnosis of mature cystic teratoma. The patient's postoperative course was complicated by wound dehiscence requiring secondary suturing, with subsequent development of a hypertrophic scar managed with intralesional triamcinolone injection. At six-month follow-up, the patient remained asymptomatic with no evidence of recurrence. This case highlights the diagnostic challenges of adrenal teratomas in children and emphasizes the importance of considering this rare entity in the differential diagnosis of suprarenal masses. Complete surgical excision remains the definitive treatment with excellent prognosis when the tumor is benign.
