Spectrum of retroperitoneal and genitourinary paraganglioma: Experience at a North Indian tertiary care center.
Article in Central European journal of urology, 2015. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 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
introductionGenitourinary and retroperitoneal paragangliomas are infrequent tumors with bizarre presentation. A high index of suspicion is required to make a diagnosis in young hypertensive individuals. Our aim is to study the varied clinical presentations and management of these paragangliomas. Herein, we share our experience of clinical presentation, diagnosis, and management of these paragangliomas. MATERIAL AND
methodsSeventeen consecutive patients who underwent surgery for paraganglioma at our institute from August 2009 to July 2014 were included. Demographic, peri-operative, surgical, and follow up data were collected and analyzed.
resultsMean age of presentation was 34.8 years with female predominance. The majority of the tumors were located in the retroperitoneum and urinary bladder. Most of them presented with classical symptoms of catecholamine excess and hypertension. Complete surgical resection could be performed in 13 cases. At a median follow up of two years, cases with R0 resection (no microscopic malignant cells) did not show recurrence. Among patients on chemotherapy, one died, another had partial response, and yet another had progressive disease.
conclusionsGenitourinary and retroperitoneal paragangliomas are a disease of a young age group with variable clinical features at presentation. Appropriate pre-operative optimization and complete surgical resection provide the best chance of cure.
