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

A 44-year-old woman presented with a 3-month history of back pain, gait disturbance, and insomnia. She had moon face and central obesity but no goiter. Cushing's syndrome due to left adrenal adenoma was diagnosed. She also had low triiodothyronine syndrome and central hypothyroidism. Treatment involved adrenalectomy followed by 30 mg/day of hydrocortisone. Inappropriate secretion of thyroid-stimulating hormone occurred postoperatively. She developed Graves' disease nine months postoperatively and was treated with methimazole. Excess glucocorticoids followed by their withdrawal may influence the hypothalamic-pituitary-thyroid axis and immune system. Therefore, a careful evaluation of the thyroid function and antibodies is important after surgery for Cushing's syndrome.
