From Trauma to Tumour: Incidental Giant Left Adrenal Myelolipoma in Congenital Adrenal Hyperplasia.
Article in Cureus, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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.
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 myelolipomas are rare, benign tumours composed of mature adipose and haematopoietic tissue. Patients with congenital adrenal hyperplasia (CAH) are predisposed to their development, with chronic adrenocorticotropic hormone (ACTH) hypersecretion secondary to impaired cortisol synthesis thought to be the principal driver of myelolipoma formation in this population. A 49-year-old female with known CAH presented to the emergency department following a stab wound to the abdomen. Computed tomography (CT) incidentally identified a 12 cm encapsulated left adrenal lesion consistent with a giant myelolipoma. Despite reported adherence to hydrocortisone and fludrocortisone replacement therapy, persistently elevated adrenal steroid precursors and plasma renin levels suggested suboptimal glucocorticoid control. Following multidisciplinary team (MDT) review, the patient was offered a left adrenalectomy given the lesion size (>10 cm) and concerns regarding the risk of spontaneous haemorrhage. This case underscores the importance of systematic imaging review beyond the primary indication for scanning, and the value of optimising biochemical monitoring and considering adrenal imaging in selected high-risk CAH patients.
