Injecting epidural and intra-articular triamcinolone in HIV-positive patients on ritonavir: beware of iatrogenic Cushing's syndrome.
Article in Skeletal radiology, 2013. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 8 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
We report two HIV-positive patients on highly active antiretroviral therapy (HAART) who developed clinical features in keeping with secondary adrenal suppression following epidural and subacromial triamcinolone. Both patients were on ritonavir-boosted protease inhibitor containing HAART and both required maintenance hydrocortisone therapy following diagnosis. This highlights the need for radiologists and clinicians practicing these injections to be aware of this complication, to elicit an accurate drug history, and to take adequate measures to minimize these adverse effects.
