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

unlabelledA 4-year-old boy with cystic fibrosis developed hypertension, rapid weight gain and a moon face 2 weeks after starting a combined treatment of oral itraconazole and inhaled budesonide for a suspected allergic bronchopulmonary aspergillosis. Adrenal suppression was documented and found to persist 3 months after stopping this combined treatment.

conclusionTo the best of our knowledge, this is the first time that an iatrogenic Cushing syndrome in a young child with cystic fibrosis after such combined treatment is reported. The inhibition of cytochrome P4503A by intraconazole and a higher glucocorticoid tissue sensitivity is suggested as the underlying mechanism.
