Central Adrenal Insufficiency Developing After Right Partial Nephrectomy Involving Ectopic Adrenocortical Adenoma Mimicking Right Renal Carcinoma and a Retrospective Diagnosis of Adrenal Cushing's Syndrome: A Case Report.
Article in IJU 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
Introduction: Ectopic adrenocortical adenomas that produce adrenal hormones and mimic renal cell carcinoma are extremely rare. Case Presentation: A 49-year-old woman underwent partial nephrectomy of the upper pole of the kidney following a clinical diagnosis of renal cell carcinoma. The tumor, initially suspected to be renal cell carcinoma, was definitively diagnosed as an ectopic adrenocortical adenoma producing adrenocortical hormones, which was removed surgically. Postoperatively, she developed tertiary adrenal insufficiency. After hydrocortisone therapy, the patient's symptoms gradually improved, and laboratory results also showed improvement. Retrospectively, the patient exhibited signs of Cushing's syndrome. Conclusion: If the patient's body habitus suggests Cushing's syndrome, it is important to conduct an endocrinological evaluation before surgery. Additionally, early postoperative monitoring and glucocorticoid supplementation should be performed if necessary.
