1 · What the graph read from it

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.

2 · The registry

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

Introduction: most sympathetic paragangliomas are driven by germline pathogenic variants. Identifying germline succinate dehydrogenase B ( Case presentation: a 37-year-old Serbian man was admitted to hospital due to hypertension, tachycardia and hyperhidrosis. Screening for secondary hypertension revealed elevated 24-h urinary normetanephrine. A CT scan showed the presence of a 54 x 76 mm retroperitoneal mass that surrounded the aorta, which was located below the pancreas and behind the duodenum. The patient was diagnosed having extra-adrenal sympathetic metastatic paraganglioma (PGL), for which we scheduled debulking surgery and genetic testing. Tumor debulking improved patient symptoms as well as signs of catecholamine excess and tumor mass effects. Meanwhile waiting for next-generation sequencing (NGS) results, the patient started a treatment with sunitinib. At this point, NGS results showed a novel and previously not reported germline Conclusion: Clinical characteristics as well as data from SDHB immunohistochemistry well support reclassification of the novel germline
