High metanephrines with adrenal hemorrhage: a diagnostic dilemma.
Article in JCEM case reports, 2026. 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
Adrenal hemorrhage (AH) may mimic hemorrhagic pheochromocytoma, particularly with markedly elevated plasma metanephrines. We report a 39-year-old woman who presented with acute right-sided abdominal pain, falling hemoglobin, and right AH on computed tomography (CT). Plasma metanephrine and normetanephrine were elevated above 3 times the upper limit of normal, raising concern for a hemorrhagic pheochromocytoma. Adrenal arteriography confirmed active hemorrhage and the vessel was successfully embolized. The day after embolization, metanephrines normalized, and adrenocortical function was intact. At 6 months, she remained asymptomatic, with normal dexamethasone suppression test and stable hematoma on CT. This case illustrates that markedly elevated metanephrines in the acute setting of AH may reflect physiologic stress rather than autonomous catecholamine secretion.
