Hypertensive Retinopathy as a Presenting Sign of Pheochromocytoma with Malignant Hypertension: A Child Case.

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
A 13-year-old was admitted to our clinic complaining about a vision loss of over 2 weeks. Bilateral optic disc edema, peripapillary flame-shaped hemorrhages, macular star pattern exudates, and cotton wool spots were found in fundoscopic examination. The OCT exam showed bilaterally serous retinal detachments in sub-foveal region with intraretinal exudates. A pediatric examination found a high systemic hypertension of 230/140 mm Hg, and laboratory tests revealed increased levels of plasmatic and urinary catecholamines. An abdominal MRI showed a left suprarenal pheochromocytoma and the child underwent an adrenalectomy urgently. Informed patient consent was obtained from legal guardians to publish clinical images. Malignant hypertension (MHT) as a result of a pheochromocytoma is an extremely rare condition in childhood. MHT crisis represents a potential life-threatening event and an immediate treatment can prevent a multi-organ failure, including the eyes. An early diagnosis of MHT by fundus examination can lead to a completely favorable ophthalmological evolution and entirely functional recovery.
