1 · What the graph read from it

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.

2 · The registry

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

This is a descriptive observational study conducted at a University Hospital. We report the case of a 34-year-old woman with a right adrenal mass detected incidentally on computed tomography, presenting atypical radiological characteristics that raised suspicion of malignancy. Hormonal investigation ruled out hypersecretion, and the patient underwent adrenalectomy. Histopathological examination revealed chronic adrenal infarction. Retrospective review of medical records identified a previous episode of severe COVID-19 during pregnancy, and re-evaluation of the computed tomography scan performed at that time allowed us to document the evolution of the adrenal infarction from the acute phase to the formation of a chronic mass over 3 years. The case illustrates an unusual presentation of adrenal infarction as an incidentaloma and highlights the importance of clinical-radiological correlation in the differential diagnosis of adrenal masses. Data collection was performed through review of medical records.
