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

Pheochromocytoma is a rare catecholamine-secreting tumor, particularly in pediatric populations, and often presents with sustained hypertension. We report the case of a 17-year-old male with a solitary kidney who presented with asymptomatic hypertension and unexpected nephrotic-range proteinuria. Imaging and biochemical workup confirmed a right adrenal pheochromocytoma. The patient underwent a successful laparoscopic adrenalectomy, after which his blood pressure normalized and proteinuria resolved. This case highlights a rare presentation of pheochromocytoma with heavy proteinuria, likely related to glomerular hyperfiltration secondary to hypertension and exacerbated by a solitary kidney. This case underscores the importance of considering pheochromocytoma in pediatric patients with unexplained hypertension, even in the presence of significant proteinuria.
