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 and paragangliomas (PPGLs) are rare tumors that cause refractory hypertension and hypertensive crisis. Although metastatic disease accounts for 30% of PPGLs, the diagnosis of malignancy is difficult without the presence of metastatic lesions. Here, we review several advancements in the diagnosis and treatment of PPGL. A nationwide epidemiological survey in Japan revealed that the annual number of patients with PPGL was 3000, which was higher than that reported previously. While plasma and urine fractionated metanephrines are recommended for use in specific biochemical testing for diagnosis, creatinine-corrected fractionated metanephrines in spot urine samples that had been widely used in Japan as a convenient screening test were shown to be as useful as 24-h urine fractionated metanephrines. Regarding imaging studies, a more specific functional imaging for PPGLs,
