Resection of a large carotid paraganglioma in Carney-Stratakis syndrome: a multidisciplinary feat.
Article in BMJ case reports, 2015. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 papers.
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
A 39-year-old man was referred to the vascular surgeons with a right-sided cervical mass, palpitations, headaches and sweating. He had presented with abdominal discomfort 12 months earlier. Investigations had revealed a gastrointestinal stromal tumour (GIST) and left adrenalectomy. CT of the neck with contrast demonstrated a large right carotid paraganglioma, extending superiorly from below the carotid bifurcation to encase the internal carotid artery. Genetic screening confirmed the diagnosis of Carney-Stratakis syndrome, an SDH-D germline mutation leading to GIST and multifocal paragangliomas. Successful surgical excision required considerable multidisciplinary teamwork between neuroendocrinologists, anaesthetists and surgeons. The tumour was highly vascular and involved the right carotid body, hypoglossal and vagus nerves. Access was challenging and maxillofacial surgical expertise were required for division of the mandible. The patient made a good recovery following speech and swallowing rehabilitation.
