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

Background: Pheochromocytomas originate from chromaffin cells of the adrenal medulla, resulting in excessive production of catecholamines and bizarre clinical symptoms. An extra-adrenal pheochromocytoma is called a paraganglioma. Urinary bladder paraganglioma represents an uncommon tumor that accounts for <0.05% of all bladder tumors. Case presentation: Presented here are three cases of incidental urinary bladder paraganglioma, all having hematuria as the primary symptom. During transurethral resection of bladder tumor, blood pressure fluctuated intensely with profuse bleeding, leading to the abandonment of the procedure. The patients were later diagnosed as having paraganglioma, and then, they were subjected to systemic evaluation and definitive treatment. Conclusion: Although bladder paraganglioma is a rare condition, it should be strongly suspected if a patient who has no definitive symptoms of the disease developed a sudden hemodynamic change at the very start of the procedure.
