Heart failure in a 10-year-old girl: incidental discovery of adrenal adenoma by cardiac MRI-case report.

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
Background: Functional adrenal adenoma is uncommon in children, and cardiovascular complications, such as dilated cardiomyopathy and heart failure (HF), are rare as initial manifestations. Case summary: Here, we report a 10-year-old girl presenting with acute HF, mild troponin rise and severe left ventricular dysfunction in echocardiography. The Cardiac magnetic resonance imaging (CMR) demonstrated dilated cardiomyopathy, with a left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) of 17% with concentric left ventricular hypertrophy and a focal myocardial infarction. Extracardiac findings in CMR showed an incidental 3-cm right adrenal mass, and subsequent dedicated MRI with adrenal protocol showed features of a benign adenoma. Laboratory findings showed mixed Cushing's and hyperaldosteronism suggestive of a functional adrenal adenoma. The radical right adrenalectomy was performed, and pathology confirmed the diagnosis. Discussion: In the 1-year follow-up echocardiography, the LVEF was back to normal (55%), highlighting the reversible nature of cardiomyopathy in this condition.
