Pheochromocytoma with acute heart failure as a complication-emphasis on the etiology of acute heart failure for diagnosis and treatment: a case report.
Article in BMC cardiovascular disorders, 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
backgroundThe primary causes of heart failure include myocardial damage and structural abnormalities. In addition to cardiovascular disease, noncardiovascular disease can also lead to heart failure. Identifying these etiologies is critical for accurate diagnosis and timely, targeted treatment. CASE PRESENTATION: The patient presented with a 10-month history of recurrent chest tightness and shortness of breath, with symptoms significantly worsening 6 hours before admission. She was diagnosed with acute heart failure in the decompensated phase, complicated by cardiogenic shock. Stabilization was achieved via an intra-aortic balloon pump (IABP) and veno-arterial extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (VA-ECMO). Further evaluation revealed pheochromocytoma as the underlying cause of acute heart failure. The patient underwent successful surgical resection of the pheochromocytoma, with no recurrence of heart failure symptoms observed during follow-up.
conclusionAcute heart failure is a rare but critical condition with rapid onset, often presenting as an emergency. Effective management necessitates life support therapy to stabilize the patient, allowing time for further diagnostic and therapeutic measures.
