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

A 15-year-old young woman was referred to the emergency room for admission by her general practitioner after receiving the results of urinary metanephrines and catecholamines requested to study the tachycardia, sweating and headaches that she had been presenting progressively last year. Imaging tests showed a large right supraumbilical para-aortic paraganglioma that was successfully removed with surgery after previous medical preparation with adrenergic blockers. Genetic testing showed a heterozygous mutation of the gene succinate dehydrogenase-B. The classic triad of symptoms in these disorders consists of headaches, sweating and tachycardia, usually accompanied by hypertension. We wanted to present this case, a challenging diagnosis of paraganglioma in primary care.
