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

Extramedullary hematopoiesis (EMH) is a compensatory process associated with chronic bone marrow failure and rarely involves the adrenal gland. We present a 63-year-old woman with abdominal pain and a large heterogeneous right suprarenal mass with calcifications and central necrosis raising suspicion for adrenocortical carcinoma. Laboratory evaluation revealed severe anemia and bone marrow examination confirmed primary myelofibrosis. Due to radiologic and core needle biopsy suspicion of malignancy, surgical resection was performed. Histopathological examination demonstrated extramedullary hematopoiesis composed of erythroid and myeloid precursors with scattered megakaryocytes. This case highlights adrenal EMH as a diagnostic pitfall mimicking adrenal malignancy clinically, radiologically, and histopathologically.
