Unusual Pheochromocytoma Presentation: From Dysuria to Catecholamine Crisis.
Article in JCEM case reports, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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 catecholamine-secreting tumors that can present as a surgical emergency, with a mortality rate as high as 15%. When these lesions present as a crisis, diagnosis and management can be very challenging, given the profound physiologic consequences, such as cardiovascular collapse or multiple organ failure, occurring over a rapid time frame. We describe an unusual case of a pheochromocytoma presenting with urinary frequency and subsequent shock and tumor hemorrhage following a urological procedure. Our patient was successfully managed with resuscitation and appropriate blood pressure control to stabilize hemodynamics prior to proceeding with open adrenalectomy. Furthermore, our patient presented initially with urinary symptoms, which has not been described as an initial presentation of pheochromocytoma. This case brings important learning points regarding unusually presenting pheochromocytomas and emergency management to improve patient survival.
