Pheochromocytoma crisis in a patient with newly diagnosed neurofibromatosis type 1.
Article in BMJ case reports, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
Pheochromocytoma occasionally engenders catecholamine-induced hypertension crisis. Pheochromocytoma is clinically identified in 0.1%-5.7% of patients with neurofibromatosis type 1 (NF1), which is 10 times more frequently than in healthy individuals. This report describes a case of newly diagnosed NF1 presenting with pheochromocytoma crisis, with severe electrolyte depletion and deteriorating recurrent ventricular tachycardia storm. Characteristic skin lesions such as café-au-lait macules and neurofibromas contributed to the diagnosis of NF1 and pheochromocytoma. No recurrence of electrolyte depletion was found after the adrenalectomy. Primary care physicians must distinguish the characteristic skin lesions of NF1, such as café-au-lait macules and neurofibromas and recognise the risk for pheochromocytoma.
