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

Paragangliomas (PGLs) are chromaffin cell tumors arising from ganglia; when arising in the adrenal gland they are called pheochromocytomas. In recent years the opinion that metastatic disease is rare in PGL had to be revised, particularly in patients presenting with extra-adrenal PGL, with PGLs exceeding 5 cm in diameter, and/or those carrying an SDHB germline mutation. Metastases are expected to be present at the time of diagnosis in more than 10% of these patients. Measurement of plasma and urinary metanephrine levels is well established in diagnosing PGL. Recently, a dopaminergic phenotype (excess dopamine or methoxytyramine) was recognized as a good indicator of metastatic disease. Vast progress in targeted positron emission tomography (PET) imaging (eg, (18)F-FDA, (18)F-FDOPA, (18)F-FDG) now allows for reliable early detection of metastatic disease. However, once metastases are present, treatment options are limited. Survival of patients with metastatic PGL is variable, and frequently short. Here we review recent advances involving findings about the genetic background, the molecular pathogenesis, new diagnostic indicators, pathologic markers, and emerging treatment options for metastatic PGL.
