Severe Cushing Syndrome Due to an ACTH-Producing Pheochromocytoma: A Case Presentation and Review of the Literature.
Review in Journal of the Endocrine Society, 2018. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 31 papers, 2 of them syntheses that pooled 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.
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
Adrenocorticotropic hormone (ACTH)-dependent Cushing syndrome is rarely caused by a pheochromocytoma. We present a case of a 46-year-old woman who developed severe hypertension, hypokalemia, and typical Cushingoid features. Investigations revealed extremely high metanephrine, cortisol, and ACTH levels. Imaging showed a 3.8-cm left adrenal mass. Preoperative control of hypertension and hypokalemia was very challenging. The patient was cured after surgical removal of the adrenal mass. We followed this by a review of the literature using the databases Google Scholar and PubMed. A total of 58 cases have been reported to date. In summary, ACTH-producing pheochromocytoma is a rare condition that poses a clinical challenge in the perioperative period. It is important that physicians be aware of such a condition because early recognition and treatment are crucial to decrease morbidity and mortality.
