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

A 37-year-old Japanese female presented with stomach ache and was found to have a 21-mm adrenal incidentaloma on abdominal computed tomography (CT). Initial tests, including a 1 mg dexamethasone suppression test, showed normal cortisol levels. Over 3 years, the tumor enlarged to 32 mm, and she developed sweating and palpitations. Elevated adrenaline and noradrenaline levels suggested a pheochromocytoma, although MIBG scintigraphy showed no accumulation. Laparoscopic left adrenalectomy was performed, and the tumor was confirmed as a pheochromocytoma. Postoperatively, the patient's symptoms and catecholamine levels normalized. This case emphasizes the need for ongoing monitoring of adrenal incidentalomas.
