Pheochromocytoma in a Patient With Chronic Hypotension: 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
Pheochromocytomas are neuroendocrine tumors that commonly present with hypertension, headache, palpitations, perspiration, and facial flushing. The diagnosis is typically made with imaging demonstrating an adrenal mass and elevated metanephrines and normetanephrines. The recommended treatment is medical optimization and adrenalectomy. Here, we present the case of a patient referred to our surgical oncology clinic with diagnostic challenges due to chronic hypotension and only heart palpitations. She was found to have a peripherally located adrenal mass extending over the renal hilum with an otherwise normal adrenal gland. Elevated plasma and urine normetanephrines were found, so the patient underwent complete resection of the tumor with en bloc adrenalectomy and was ultimately found to have a pheochromocytoma. After surgery, she has no evidence of disease and has had resolution of palpitations.
