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

Pheochromocytomas are rare catecholamine-secreting neoplasms, occurring in approximately 0.1-0.5% of the patients with hypertension. Typically, a pheochromocytoma presents with hypertension, a paroxysm of headaches, sweating, and palpitation. However, patients may also present with atypical clinical manifestations on rare occasions. This report presents a case involving a young woman who presented with two rare manifestations of pheochromocytomas: congestive heart failure and right upper extremity deep vein thrombosis (DVT). Her cardiomyopathy was completely resolved by surgical and medical therapy, while DVT was resolved with anticoagulation. Pheochromocytoma should be considered in case of sudden and unexplained cardiac failure and/or DVT. Pheochromocytoma-induced cardiomyopathy can be reversed with medical and/or surgical therapy for pheochromocytomas.
