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

Introduction: Adrenal oncocytomas are rare, nonfunctioning tumors composed of eosinophilic oncocytic cells whose nonspecific imaging often impedes preoperative diagnosis. We report a case of a large nonfunctioning adrenal oncocytoma with borderline malignant potential, incidentally discovered during cardiac symptom evaluation. Case Presentation: A 77-year-old man with an incidentally discovered retroperitoneal tumor was referred to Urology for further evaluation. Contrast-enhanced CT revealed a 93-mm lobulated mass with heterogeneous enhancement abutting the left kidney's upper pole. Given the tumor's size, open left nephrectomy and adrenalectomy were performed. Gross and histopathology revealed a yellowish, solid adrenal tumor composed predominantly of oncocytic cells with no invasion of the kidney. Immunohistochemistry revealed a low Ki-67 index (approximately 2%). The tumor was classified as having borderline malignant potential (Lin-Weiss-Bisceglia criteria). Conclusion: We present a rare case of nonfunctioning adrenal oncocytoma with borderline malignant potential. Long-term follow-up is recommended due to the uncertain malignant potential.
