Metastatic Pheochromocytoma/Paraganglioma Overproducing Multiple Catecholamines.
Article in JCEM case reports, 2025. 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
Pheochromocytoma and paraganglioma (PPGL) are rare chromaffin-cell tumors producing adrenaline and/or noradrenaline, or solely dopamine. A 52-year-old man presenting with hypertension (141/79 mm Hg) and weight loss (10 kg in 6 months) was admitted to our hospital. Computed tomography revealed a massive right adrenal mass (150 mm) with partial necrosis, accompanied by multiple liver nodules. These nodules showed a high signal intensity on T2-weighted magnetic resonance imaging. Subsequently, a diagnosis of PPGL was made based on elevated urinary excretion of adrenaline (355 µg/day [1937 nmol/day]; normal range: 3.4-26.9 µg/day; 18-146 nmol/day), noradrenaline (1690 µg/day [9989 nmol/day]; normal range: 48.6-168.4 µg/day; 287-995 nmol/day), and dopamine (53 000 µg/day [258 322 nmol/day]; normal range: 365-961.5 µg/day; 1779-4686 nmol/day).
