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

The finding of an adrenal mass in a patient with a history of extra-adrenal malignancy represents a diagnostic dilemma, in which metastasis is usually the primary suspicion. Pure adrenal lipomas are extremely rare benign tumors (<5% of adrenal neoplasms) that can coexist with other malignancies. We present the case of a 66-year-old female with a history of infiltrating ductal carcinoma of the breast treated in 2023. During her surveillance protocol, a computed tomography scan revealed a right renal mass and an ipsilateral adrenal lesion with fat density. Given the clinical suspicion of a second primary renal tumor and possible metastatic activity, a right radical nephrectomy was performed. Histopathological analysis confirmed a high-grade clear cell renal cell carcinoma (Grade 4, sarcomatoid features) pT1a, and a synchronous pure adrenal lipoma, definitively ruling out metastasis and myelolipoma. This case underscores the importance of an accurate radiological-pathological correlation to avoid diagnostic bias in complex oncological patients.
