Article in Quantitative imaging in medicine and surgery, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 papers.
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
Background: Pheochromocytomas/paragangliomas (PPGLs) predominantly express somatostatin receptors (SSTRs) 2 and 3. Methods: This retrospective study reviewed consecutive patients referred to the Chinese PLA General Hospital, Beijing between April 2018 and December 2020 who underwent both biochemical testing for catecholamine and Results: A total of 38 patients with PPGLs and 21 with non-PPGLs tumors were included in the final analysis. When a general optimal threshold for adrenal tumors was applied in pheochromocytoma (PCC) diagnosis, the sensitivity, specificity, and accuracy of the SUVR and KS were 86.4% (19/22) and 90.9% (20/22), 92.9% (13/14) and 78.6% (11/14), and 88.9% (32/36) and 86.1% (31/36), respectively. The SUVR and KS diagnostic results showed no differences in paraganglioma (PGL) diagnosis, with a sensitivity, specificity, and accuracy of 43.8% (7/16), 100.0% (7/7), and 60.9% (14/23), respectively. Using PPGL-specific optimal thresholds improved the diagnostic accuracy for extra-adrenal tumors. The diagnostic results of the SUVR and KS showed high concordance in both general and subgroup analyses. When PPGL-specific optimal thresholds were used, Conclusions: Applying PPGL-specific thresholds of
