Recurrence of Ectopic Cushing's Syndrome 10 Years After Bilateral Adrenalectomy.
Article in Cureus, 2020. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
Ectopic Cushing's syndrome is a severe form of Cushing disease. Treatment usually involves the resection of the adrenocorticotropic hormone producing tumor. In certain cases, bilateral adrenalectomy is carried out as a final resort in treatment. We present a patient who had a lung carcinoid tumor, which was producing adrenocorticotropic hormone and causing ectopic Cushing's syndrome. Lung wedge resection failed to normalize cortisol level, and he had bilateral adrenalectomy. Ten years later, he had a recurrence of Cushing's disease due to lymph node metastasis of his carcinoid tumor.
