Mixed functional tumor of the left adrenal as a cause of palpitations, surgical management. Case report.
Article in Journal of surgical 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
Compound pheochromocytoma refers to a rare adrenal tumor that includes neuroblastic components and is a rare catecholamine-producing tumor from chromaffin cells, typically found in the adrenal medulla. It usually presents with symptoms like tachycardia, headache, and intermittent diaphoresis, although its clinical manifestations can vary. Diagnosis involves biochemical studies and imaging such as catecholamines, metanephrines, CT scans, and positron emission tomography (PET). The surgical management is the definitive, being the laparoscopic approach of choice in most cases. This case report discusses a 45-year-old male who presented with tachycardia and palpitations, diagnosed with left pheochromocytoma exhibiting neuroblastoma differentiation, surgically treated through anterior laparoscopy without any trans-surgical complications and with low bleeding. Postoperative recovery was uneventful, and pathology confirmed the diagnosis. Timely diagnosis and surgical removal are crucial, with laparoscopy being the preferred approach for tumor resection.
