Case report: Significant liver atrophy due to giant cystic pheochromocytoma.

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
Introduction: Pheochromocytoma is a neuroendocrine tumor originating from chromaffin cells in the adrenal medulla. Giant pheochromocytomas with a maximum diameter of over 20 cm are particularly rare. Case presentation: We present a case of giant cystic pheochromocytoma in a 64-year-old woman who was found to have a right abdominal mass during an ultrasound examination, which is the largest pheochromocytoma ever documented in China. Meanwhile, obvious atrophy of the right lobe of the liver was found in preoperative CT and during the operation. Our literature review identified 20 cases with a diameter of over 20 cm. The average age at diagnosis was 51.7 (range 17-85), and 35% of cases did not exhibit classic symptoms. Conclusion: Giant pheochromocytoma is an uncommon neoplasm. It can be discovered late due to a lack of clinical manifestations. Diagnosis is dependent on imaging recognition together with catecholamine secretion. Surgical resection is the only curative treatment for such tumors.
