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

We report a case of a large pheochromocytoma in a middle-aged woman with a good past health record. She presented with pheochromocytoma crisis, complaining of acute shortness of breath, and quickly deteriorated into refractory cardiogenic shock with multiorgan failure. Multi-axial CT showed a large mass in the left suprarenal region. Elevated serum catecholamines confirmed the diagnosis of pheochromocytoma. Left distal transradial adrenal artery embolization under local anesthesia was performed because of limited femoral access and very high perioperative risk. The aim was to devascularize the tumor and reduce catecholamine secretion. Her labile blood pressure improved after embolization. She gradually recovered and underwent adrenalectomy three weeks later.
