Left subdiaphragmatic paraganglioma supplied by contralateral right renal artery.
Article in International journal of surgery case reports, 2012. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled 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.
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
introductionParagangliomas are neuroendocrine tumors of the autonomic nervous system that arise from neural crest cells. Paragangliomas are typically extra-adrenal, non-functional and can be discovered incidentally, posing diagnostic and therapeutic challenges. PRESENTATION OF CASE: We present the unusual case of a young man who presented with an acute abdomen secondary to small bowel obstruction, and was found to have an incidental left-sided subdiaphragmatic paraganglioma supplied by a branch of the contralateral right renal artery. DISCUSSION: Emergent laparotomy revealed an internal hernia as the source of the small bowel obstruction. Initial attempts to remove an incidental left subdiaphragmatic mass were aborted because of bleeding. Subsequently, after preoperative superselective embolization of the feeding vessel arising from the right renal artery, the mass was successfully resected. Pathology was consistent with a paraganglioma.
conclusionThis report highlights the rarity of the location and blood supply of an incidental left subdiaphragmatic paraganglioma found in the setting of a small bowel obstruction.
