Right adrenal metastasis from left apical non-small cell lung carcinoma with contiguous tumor thrombus extending through the inferior vena cava into the right atrium.

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
A 76-year-old male presented to our emergency department with intermittent exertional chest pain. Computed tomography of the abdomen and pelvis demonstrated a heterogeneous right adrenal mass measuring 7.7 cm with direct tumor extension into the inferior vena cava (IVC) and right atrium; there was expansion of the IVC lumen suggestive of tumor thrombus. Magnetic resonance imaging confirmed invasion of the IVC with contiguous tumor thrombus extending into the right atrium and spanning approximately 15.5 cm craniocaudally. Image-guided biopsy of the adrenal mass confirmed metastatic poorly differentiated non-small cell lung carcinoma (NSCLC). Subsequent computed tomography of the chest demonstrated a large left apical lung mass representing the primary malignancy. After multidisciplinary evaluation, the patient elected hospice care. Adrenal metastasis from non-small cell lung carcinoma with contiguous intravascular tumor extension into the IVC and right atrium is exceedingly rare. Our case highlights this uncommon pattern of NSCLC metastasis, including incidence, clinical presentation, imaging characteristics, management, and prognosis.
