Regional metastatic paraganglioma of the bladder: a rare cause of myocardial infarction, reversible cardiomyopathy and an intracardiac thrombus.
Article in BMJ case reports, 2020. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. An erratum has been issued. 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
Sympathetic paragangliomas are rare neuroendocrine tumours that arise from chromaffin cells and secrete catecholamines. On rare occasions, patients with sympathetic paragangliomas can present with symptoms of congestive heart failure. The optimal treatment is surgical to remove all disease and thereby improve survival as well as restore cardiac function. We report a case of a patient with a regional metastatic bladder paraganglioma and a succinate dehydrogenase complex subunit B gene mutation presenting with cardiomyopathy who had significant improvement in his cardiac function with surgical resection despite further progression of metastatic disease. During his 4-year follow-up period, the patient remains free from heart-failure signs and symptoms.
