Pheochromocytoma with Takotsubo Syndrome and acute heart failure: a case report.
Article in World journal of surgical 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
backgroundPheochromocytoma is a neuroendocrine tumor that can overproduce catecholamines. Heart failure and Takotsubo Syndrome (TTS) caused by excessive catecholamines are uncommon pheochromocytoma complications. CASE PRESENTATION: A 27-year-old woman was referred to our center for further preoperative assessment and adrenalectomy. She came to the emergency ward with the typical symptoms of acute coronary syndrome and heart failure, including chest stuffiness, dyspnea, epigastric pain, and diaphoresis. The high level of 24-hour urinary vanillylmandelic acid and abdominal computed tomography findings supported the diagnosis of pheochromocytoma. Transthoracic echocardiography showed diffuse hypokinesis of the left ventricular wall with an ejection fraction of 23%. All symptoms and left ventricular function recovered rapidly after left laparoscopic adrenalectomy. Histopathology findings confirmed the diagnosis of pheochromocytoma. Based on the above findings, we eventually diagnosed her with pheochromocytoma-induced TTS.
conclusionsThis is a rare case of pheochromocytoma without hypertension complicated by TTS and acute heart failure. A diagnosis of pheochromocytoma-induced TTS should be considered for patients presenting with uncommon heart failure, even in patients without hypertension. Standard treatment is the surgical removal of the adrenal mass.
