Unrecognised paraganglioma of the urinary bladder precipitating hypertensive crisis.
Article in BMJ case reports, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 papers.
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
Bladder paragangliomas (bPGLs) account for only 0.06% of all bladder tumours, most commonly presenting with post-micturition syncope and hypertensive crisis. Silent paragangliomas are very rare, and failure to recognise them in the perioperative setting can precipitate a hypertensive crisis in the absence of sufficient alpha-blockade. Here, we describe a case of unrecognised bPGL in a woman with pre-existing hypertension and a single prior episode of haematuria thought to be related to urothelial carcinoma. She was found to have a low-grade non-invasive papillary urothelial carcinoma (potentially the cause of her haematuria) and an unrelated vascular-appearing tumour causing hypertensive crisis and broad complex tachycardia on resection. This was confirmed to be a bPGL on histology for which she underwent definitive management with a partial cystectomy following blood pressure management.
