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

Adrenal endothelial cysts are rare lesions that may present as large retroperitoneal masses and mimic other cystic adrenal or retroperitoneal tumors. We report a 54-year-old man with progressive left lumbar pain caused by a giant left retroperitoneal cystic mass measuring 19.2 × 18.1 × 12.0 cm, displacing adjacent organs. Open surgical excision was performed after controlled intraoperative decompression. Histopathology showed a fibrous cyst wall lined by bland flattened CD34-positive endothelium with residual adrenal tissue, confirming an adrenal endothelial cyst. Surgery provided definitive diagnosis and treatment with an uneventful postoperative course.
