Congenital Adrenal Hyperplasia due to 11β-Hydroxylase Deficiency Presented With Leydig Cell Tumor and Testicular Adrenal Rest Tumors: A 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
Congenital adrenal hyperplasia (CAH) due to 11β-hydroxylase deficiency is an uncommon disorder characterized by impaired cortisol synthesis, hyperandrogenism, and mineralocorticoid excess. The coexistence of Leydig cell tumors (LCTs) and testicular adrenal rest tumors (TARTs) is rarely reported, highlighting the diagnostic and therapeutic challenges in such cases. A 35-year-old man with a history of hypertension and infertility presented with left testicular masses. His medical history was significant for a prior right orchiectomy, with pathology confirming LCT. Subsequent evaluations revealed azoospermia, elevated adrenal androgen levels, adrenocorticotropic hormone (ACTH) and 17-OH progesterone levels indicative of CAH due to 11β-hydroxylase deficiency. Imaging studies identified left testicular masses and bilateral adrenal myelolipomas. The patient was managed with oral dexamethasone and eplerenone, resulting in normalization of blood pressure and electrolytes. This case highlights the complexity of CAH presentations with overlapping testicular and adrenal pathologies. Patients with such conditions should be closely monitored and regularly checked for common complications to ensure timely intervention and optimal management.
