Pseudocyst of the Pancreas Masquerading as Adrenal Myelolipoma: Lessons Learned.
Article in Cureus, 2025. 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
A 56-year-old female presented with left loin pain, intermittent vomiting, and generalized weakness, alongside newly diagnosed diabetes mellitus and hypertension. Initial evaluation revealed a firm, vague mass in the left hypochondrium. Contrast-enhanced magnetic resonance imaging and computed tomography of the kidney, ureter, and bladder showed features consistent with left adrenal myelolipoma, promoting laparoscopic adrenal surgery. During surgery, it was revealed that the mass was adhered to the spleen, tail of the pancreas, and left kidney, and hence laparoscopy was converted to open surgery. In the postoperative period, the patient had a foul-smelling discharge, suggesting a pancreatic duct leak. Therefore, the patient was taken up for emergency splenectomy, distal pancreatectomy, removal of the splenic fissure, and transverse colostomy. Histopathological examination revealed a cystic mass, chronic pancreatitis, and inflammation, with no signs of malignancy. The clinical, investigative, and surgical findings were not indicative of an adrenal mass, emphasizing the need for a team approach and careful assessment while diagnosing retroperitoneal problems.
