Massive Bilateral Exudative Retinal Detachment Revealing Pheochromocytoma: A Case Report.
Article in Cureus, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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
Hypertension is a leading cause of cardiovascular morbidity and premature death that can result in significant end-organ damage, including to the eyes. Malignant hypertension, defined by a blood pressure above 200/120 mmHg, can lead to advanced retinopathy with complications such as exudative retinal detachment. We present a case of a 28-year-old woman who developed bilateral blindness due to malignant hypertension caused by a pheochromocytoma, an uncommon tumor that secretes catecholamines. Initial ophthalmic examination revealed severe hypertensive retinopathy and bilateral exudative retinal detachment; the diagnosis was confirmed by elevated urinary catecholamines and a CT scan showing an adrenal mass. This case underscores the importance of identifying ocular manifestations of hypertension as indicators of life-threatening systemic conditions. Prompt diagnosis and management, including antihypertensive treatment and surgical intervention, are critical for such patients.
