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

This case describes a 50-yr-old man who was admitted to the Urology Ward upon the suspicion of a left kidney tumor. As part of the pre-operative check-up, an ultrasound and computed tomography of the kidneys were conducted. The results confirmed the initial diagnosis. The postoperative diagnosis was extra-adrenal pararenal phaeochromocytoma (ePCC) with succinate dehydrogenase complex, subunit B (SDHB) gene mutation. During the follow-up, a second tumor was detected by 3,4-dihydroxy-6-F-18-fluoro-L-phenylalanine positron emission tomography/computed tomography F-DOPA-PET CT that resulted in another surgery with complete resection of the tumor. The patient and his family were counseled by a genetic laboratory and remain under surveillance.
