A case of pheochromocytoma presenting with cardiopulmonary arrest.
Article in Journal of cardiology cases, 2019. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 4 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 33-year-old woman complained of sudden chest pain and intense headache. She was unconscious and underwent defibrillation for ventricular fibrillation in the ambulance. In the emergency room, she was placed on an artificial respirator. Diffuse wall hypokinesis and decreased left ventricular ejection fraction (31%) were identified on transthoracic echocardiography, and an intra-aortic balloon pump was inserted to address the cardiogenic shock. A mass was identified in the right adrenal gland on abdominal ultrasonography. Since a pheochromocytoma was suspected, doxazosin and carvedilol were administered. Blood and urinary norepinephrine and dopamine levels were elevated, confirming the pheochromocytoma diagnosis, and right adrenalectomy was performed 23 days after the initial hospitalization. After surgery, the left ventricular wall motion and left ventricular ejection fraction had improved to 62% on echocardiography. Blood and urinary norepinephrine and dopamine levels also decreased to within the normal range. This case highlights that the patient returned to normalcy and recovered to a transient myocardial disorder or malignant arrhythmia after cardiopulmonary arrest due to early diagnosis of and accurate treatment for pheochromocytoma. <
