Rare case of steroid cell tumour presenting as resistant hypertension in early pregnancy.
Article in BMJ 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
A woman 12 weeks and 3 days pregnant was referred to the emergency department with significant hypertension which, despite aggressive medical management, remained uncontrolled. Markedly elevated levels of renin and aldosterone beyond what is typical in early pregnancy were present, which together with the finding of a right ovarian cyst pointed to the possible diagnosis of an extrarenal reninoma.and the decision was made to perform a right-sided oophorectomy at 16 weeks gestation. Histology demonstrated a staining pattern most consistent with a steroid cell tumour leading to the diagnosis of refractory hypertension secondary to an ovarian steroid cell tumour. Post oophorectomy blood biochemistry rapidly returned to normal, and our patient's hypertension slowly resolved allowing for a large reduction in antihypertensive agent requirements and a successful pregnancy outcome.
