Pheochromocytoma: A Case Report.
Article in Cureus, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 5 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
Pheochromocytomas are rare tumors located in the adrenal medulla, that derives from the chromaffin cells and produce catecholamines. They are an uncommon cause of hypertension, and only 50% of the patients present symptoms compatible with this pathology. Here we describe the case of a 70-year-old woman with a history of anxiety, hypertension and palpitation, who had an unspecified nodule in the right adrenal gland. Laboratory studies revealed an elevated urinary metanephrines secretion. A diagnosis of pheochromocytoma was made and an adrenalectomy was performed. Our aim is to highlight the diagnosis of this rare tumor and how its early management can prevent morbidity and mortality.
