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

Castleman disease (CD) is an uncommon lymphoproliferative disorder of undetermined origin, also known as giant lymph node hyperplasia or angiofollicular lymph node hyperplasia. It is broadly classified into unicentric and multicentric forms, each exhibiting distinct clinical manifestations, pathological features, and prognostic implications. While the mediastinum remains the most frequently involved site, CD may occur in a variety of nodal and extranodal locations. Adrenal involvement is exceptionally uncommon and can pose a significant diagnostic challenge by mimicking primary adrenal neoplasms. We report the case of a 24-year-old man who presented with nonspecific abdominal symptoms and was found to have a right adrenal mass. The patient underwent adrenalectomy, initially via a laparoscopic approach, which was subsequently converted to open surgery because of dense adhesions and proximity to major vascular structures. Histopathological examination established the diagnosis of unicentric hyaline vascular CD involving the adrenal region. To the best of our knowledge, this represents the first reported case of adrenal CD from Myanmar.
