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

The incidence of metastatic recurrence in multiple endocrine neoplasia type 2 (MEN2)-related pheochromocytoma is low, and reports are scarce. Moreover, there are no reports detailing changes in biochemical findings at the time of metastatic recurrence. We describe here the case of a woman in her 40s with MEN2-related pheochromocytoma. She exhibited an increase in spot urine normetanephrine levels 2 years and 8 months after laparoscopic right adrenalectomy for right pheochromocytoma, leading to the diagnosis of peritoneal dissemination and distant metastasis. She underwent chemotherapy, which was ineffective, and died 3 years and 2 months after the initial surgery. Metastasis and recurrence of MEN2-related pheochromocytoma are rare, and a change in the biochemical phenotype is also uncommon. Therefore, we report the clinical course of this case in detail.
