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

backgroundThe prognosis of pheochromocytoma and sympathetic paraganglioma (PHEO/sPGL) is difficult to predict at the time of diagnosis and long-term follow-up data are scarce, especially for apparently benign and sporadic variants. The aim of the study was to analyze the long-term outcomes in PHEO/sPGL patients.

methodsA monocentric series of 170 patients who underwent surgery for PHEO/sPGL was analyzed.

resultsThe study cohort included 91 female and 79 males with a median age of 48 years (range 6-83). The majority of PHEO/sPGL cases were considered apparently benign at the time of diagnosis; evident malignant behavior was found in 5% of cases. The overall 10-year risk of recurrence was 13%, but it rose up to 33% at 30 years. The risk of new tumor recurrence was higher in patients with hereditary tumors, but the risk was still significant in patients with apparently sporadic variants (20-year risk: 38% vs. 6.5%, respectively;

conclusionsLifelong follow-up is required not only for hereditary PHEO/sPGL but also for apparently benign and sporadic tumors at diagnosis because of the risk of long-term recurrent disease.
