To Resect or Not to Resect: An Incidental Finding of an Adrenal Schwannoma.
Article in Cureus, 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
Adrenal masses are commonly classified as adenomas, with other pathologies including pheochromocytomas, adrenocortical carcinoma, and metastasis. Specifically, adrenal schwannomas are an extremely rare form of adrenal tumor. In this report, we present a case of a 61-year-old male patient who underwent an MRI of the abdomen for the evaluation of gallstones and was found to have an incidental left adrenal mass measuring approximately 6 cm. He was referred to urology and endocrinology due to concerns about malignancy. Given the size of the lesion, despite unremarkable adrenal laboratory studies, an interdisciplinary discussion was held in favor of resection. He later underwent adrenalectomy, in which pathology revealed a 6.5 cm schwannoma. It is important for physicians to be aware that at a certain size, consideration must be given to the resection of an adrenal mass due to the increased incidence of malignancy with larger sizes, despite their typical nonfunctioning presentation.
