Pheochromocytoma Multisystem Crisis and Masquerading Disseminated Histoplasmosis in a Neurofibromatosis Type 1 Patient With Bilateral Adrenal Tumors.
Article in Academic forensic pathology, 2020. 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
Pheochromocytomas are rare catecholamine-secreting neuroendocrine tumors that can occasionally progress to life-threatening disease, including a multisystem crisis. Patients with Neurofibromatosis type 1 (NF1) may develop pheochromocytomas, and the consequent chronic elevation of plasma catecholamine levels could further complicate various cardiovascular and pulmonary manifestations they may have. A 37-year-old African American female with NF1 presented with severe dyspnea, chills, myalgia, vomiting, and abdominal pain. Within several hours of hospital admission, she developed progressive agitation and died from circulatory collapse. An autopsy revealed disseminated histoplasmosis with necrotizing granulomatosis in her lungs, mediastinum, liver, and spleen, as well as bilateral pheochromocytomas with one tumor showing marked hemorrhage. Additionally, she had cardiac hypertrophy, myocarditis, pulmonary edema, apical bullae, features of pulmonary hypertension and interstitial fibrosis.
