Diabetes Mellitus and Cardiomyopathy as Presenting Features of Occult Malignant Pheochromocytoma.
Article in Cureus, 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
The concomitant occurrence of diabetes mellitus and cardiomyopathy secondary to occult malignant pheochromocytoma has rarely been reported. This case report describes the case of a 48-year-old female with a previous history of diabetes mellitus, hypertension, and cardiomyopathy who presented with fatigue and significant weight loss. Neither typical symptoms of pheochromocytoma nor metastatic symptoms were presented. Pheochromocytoma with extension to the liver was incidentally found from computed tomography of the abdomen and laboratory investigations during the work-up to identify the cause for the weight loss. Right adrenalectomy and a right hepatectomy were performed. Malignant pheochromocytoma was diagnosed based on pathology. All of her underlying conditions including diabetes mellitus, hypertension, and cardiomyopathy, were improved following the complete resection of the tumor. This case emphasizes the importance of early suspicion and diagnosis of malignant pheochromocytoma in individuals with atypical presentation of a chromaffin-secreting tumor.
