1 · What the graph read from it

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.

2 · The registry

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

Background: Bilateral carotid body tumors with a concomitant skull-base paraganglioma are extremely rare, of which only one case has been reported in the literature to date. Case presentation: We present the case of a 35-year-old male with 1 year of hypertension and high levels of dopamine and 3-methoxytyramine. Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) scans demonstrated three separate masses at the left middle cranial fossa floor and bilateral carotid bifurcation. Genetic testing showed succinate dehydrogenase complex subunit D mutation. The patient underwent the resection of the left skull base mass. Histopathology and immunohistochemistry confirmed the presence of a skull-base paraganglioma. Conclusions: Succinate dehydrogenase complex subunit D mutation-associated bilateral carotid body tumors with a concomitant skull-base paraganglioma accompanied by abnormal dopamine and hypertension are extremely rare, which not only provides ideas for considering the association of gene mutations, biochemical abnormalities and clinical symptoms but also provides an expanded diagnostic spectrum for paraganglioma in atypical locations.
