Severe and Prolonged Hypoglycemia Following Adrenalectomy for 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. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
We report a case of a 64-year-old woman with poorly controlled diabetes mellitus who was found to have a left adrenal pheochromocytoma. Despite standard preoperative management including alpha-blockade with doxazosin, the patient developed persistent and severe hypoglycemia immediately following adrenalectomy, requiring high-rate intravenous glucose infusion. Markedly suppressed preoperative urinary C-peptide levels rapidly increased after surgery, indicating reversible beta-cell suppression due to catecholamine excess. Over a 10-year postoperative course, the patient maintained stable glycemic control with dietary therapy alone, demonstrating substantial improvement in glucose metabolism. This case highlights the rare but significant risk of postoperative hypoglycemia even under optimized perioperative conditions, and illustrates the potential for long-term improvement in diabetes following pheochromocytoma resection.
