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 (PHEO) currently is considered to be malignant due to metastatic potential. One of the most common familial forms of PHEO is multiple endocrine neoplasia syndrome (MEN) type 2. The penetrance of PHEO in MEN2 syndrome is up to 50% of cases. It may be one- or two-sided, but metastases occur extremely rare. The fact that in majority of cases of MEN2 syndrome the source of distant metastases is medullary thyroid carcinoma (MTC) complicates differential diagnosis in case of PHEO metastasis.Isolated cases of PHEO with metastases to the lymph nodes, lungs, liver, bones, brain in MEN2 patients were described. In the available literature, we have found a description of 31 cases of metastatic PHEO in MEN2 syndrome. The available data of those cases is presented as a table in the article.We present a description of a 40-year-old woman with MEN2A syndrome (mutation of the RET proto-oncogene p.Cys634Tyr), with a history of twice-performed surgical treatment of MTC, with daily crises of arterial hypertension accompanied by vegetative symptoms, with a giant bilateral PHEO (up to 200 m on the right and up to 150 mm on the left) with synchronous large metastasis (up to 50 mm) into the pubic bone with the destruction. The patient underwent several surgeries: bilateral adrenalectomy, then a bilateral revision of the neck, removal of the right upper and right lower parathyroid glands, residual thyroid tissue, then resection of the right pubic bone with a tumor.
