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

An adult male in his early 30s diagnosed with multiple endocrine neoplasia type 2A syndrome, confirmed through genetic testing, presented as bilateral pheochromocytoma in a metachronous fashion, primary hyperparathyroidism and medullary thyroid carcinoma. Left and right adrenalectomy was done 9 years and 3 years ago, respectively. He was also subjected to total thyroidectomy with neck dissection and left inferior parathyroidectomy. During surveillance monitoring, 24-hour total urine metanephrines were elevated 13.977 mg (Normal value 0-1 mg) 1 year after right adrenalectomy. Adrenal CT scan demonstrated a 2.1 cm ovoid focus in the right suprarenal region, and functional imaging (
