Ectopic adrenal tissue in the mesosalpinx: a rare incidental finding in an adult woman.
Article in Journal of surgical case reports, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
Ectopic adrenal tissue is most often identified incidentally on histopathological examination. It is reported mainly in male children and is usually located within the abdominopelvic cavity. Although adrenal cortical rests have been described in the female genital tract, involvement of the mesosalpinx (paratubal region) is exceptionally rare. We report a microscopic adrenal cortical rest in the left mesosalpinx of a 47-year-old woman who underwent total abdominal hysterectomy with bilateral salpingo-oophorectomy for abnormal uterine bleeding and evaluation of bilateral complex ovarian cysts. The ectopic rest formed a well-circumscribed 3-mm nodule composed of bland polygonal cells with clear to eosinophilic cytoplasm, consistent with adrenal cortex. This case underscores the value of careful gross sampling and microscopic review in detecting uncommon developmental anomalies that are clinically silent.
