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

Multiple endocrine neoplasia (MEN) is an inherited, autosomal dominant condition characterized by primary parathyroid hyperplasia, medullary thyroid neoplasm, and pheochromocytoma. It most commonly presents with medullary thyroid cancer and less frequently with other complaints. Pheochromocytoma can also manifest through gastrointestinal complaints such as abdominal pain, nausea, and constipation. We present a normotensive case of pheochromocytoma, initially featuring abdominal pain and vomiting, which was later found to be associated with neck swelling and medullary thyroid cancer. The patient underwent an adrenalectomy and has continued to visit our endocrinology clinic for ongoing monitoring and treatment of iatrogenic hypoparathyroidism and hypothyroidism. A brief review is also provided.
