Correlation between catecholamines and echocardiographic parameters in patients with pheochromocytoma and paraganglioma.
Article in Journal of clinical ultrasound : JCU, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 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
purposeTo analyze the correlation between catecholamines and echocardiographic parameters in patients with pheochromocytoma and paraganglioma (PPGL).
methodsSixty-six patients who underwent surgical resection of pathologically proven PPGL from January 2016 to June 2019 were examined. Echocardiographic parameters were compared between patients with elevated catecholamine concentrations and those with normal concentrations.
resultsThe percentage of patients with elevation of any catecholamine (NE, DA, or E, and their metabolites) did not significantly differ between patients with normal and abnormal left ventricular ejection function (LVEF) or diastolic function (LVDF). E wave deceleration time (EDT) was significantly lower in patients with elevation of any catecholamine than in those with normal concentrations (p = 0.024). EDT was significantly lower in patients with elevated NE and its metabolites than in patients with normal NE concentration (p = 0.004). After adjusting for gender and age, EDT was significantly negatively correlated with elevated NE and its metabolites in regression analysis (B-value, -39.853; p = 0.023) and correlation analysis (r = -0.349; p = 0.004).
conclusionNE and its metabolites may have an impact on left ventricular diastolic function, which can be reflected by EDT. EDT was negatively correlated with elevated NE and its metabolites.
