Peritoneal implantation of pheochromocytoma 8 years after adrenalectomy: A rare cause of delayed recurrence.

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
Peritoneal implantation of pheochromocytoma following adrenalectomy is an exceptionally rare mechanism of recurrence, typically related to intraoperative tumor spillage or capsular rupture. It may present after a prolonged latency and mimic metastatic disease. We report the case of a 43-year-old man who presented with occasional palpitations, headache, and hypertension 8 years after right adrenalectomy for pheochromocytoma. Imaging revealed multiple peritoneal soft-tissue lesions. I-123 MIBG scintigraphy demonstrated avid uptake in these lesions, confirming peritoneal implantation of pheochromocytoma. This case highlights the importance of considering peritoneal implantation even years after surgery and the value of functional imaging in diagnosis and follow-up.
