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

Granulomatous adrenal involvement is an uncommon cause of primary adrenal dysfunction, while intestinal non-tuberculous mycobacterial (NTM) infection and Crohn's disease share substantial clinical, endoscopic, radiological, and histopathological overlap. The coexistence of these entities represents an exceptional diagnostic challenge, and epidemiological data regarding their association are currently lacking. We report the case of a 61-year-old man who presented with progressive cutaneous hyperpigmentation. Computed tomography demonstrated bilateral adrenal calcifications, calcified lymph nodes suggestive of granulomatous disease, and a calcified hepatic granuloma. Biochemical evaluation revealed markedly elevated adrenocorticotropic hormone (ACTH) levels, while morning cortisol and aldosterone.
