A Rapidly Progressing Carotid Body Tumor: A Case Report.
Article in Cureus, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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
Carotid body tumors (CBTs) are a rare form of paragangliomas that often arise near the carotid bifurcation. They are typically slow growing and often asymptomatic. We report a case of a CBT in a 70-year-old man, who presented with a firm, painless, pulsatile neck mass that rapidly increased in size over the course of two months. The diagnosis was suspected based on the patient's clinical history and physical examination. The diagnosis was confirmed with CT angiography (CTA). The tumor was nonfunctioning based on normal urinary-free catecholamines, vanillylmandelic acid (VMA), and metanephrines levels. The patient then underwent a CT scan of his thorax, abdomen, and pelvis which did not detect any metastatic spread. The patient was referred to a tertiary vascular surgery center for definitive treatment. Our aim in presenting this case is to increase awareness of this rare type of paraganglioma with the hope of increasing early intervention and improving outcomes.
