Pheochromocytoma Mimicking Acute Coronary Syndrome: A Case Report.
Article in Frontiers in oncology, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 7 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
Pheochromocytoma is a rare catecholamine-secreting tumor with highly variable clinical presentations. We herein report a patient who presented to the emergency department with precordia pain, elevated myocardial enzymes, T-wave inversions on electrocardiogram and segmental ventricular wall motion abnormalities on echocardiography, which is normally managed as suspected acute coronary syndrome (ACS). However, the urgent coronary angiography showed normal coronary arteries. During his hospital stay, a sudden increase in blood pressure allowed us to suspect a pheochromocytoma, which was confirmed by elevated levels of catecholamines and by the finding of a right adrenal mass on magnetic resonance imaging. The tumor was successfully excised and the patient is now asymptomatic. This case illustrates that pheochromocytoma can present as a mimic of ACS but this is often difficult to diagnose at first glance and often misleads clinicians into making an incorrect diagnosis. In addition, clinicians should be familiar with clinical manifestations of pheochromocytoma, which can help raise clinical suspicion and facilitate the early diagnosis and treatment of pheochromocytoma.
