Patient and Provider Perspectives on Postsurgical Recovery of Cushing Syndrome.
Article in Journal of the Endocrine Society, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 15 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
contextCushing syndrome (CS) is associated with impaired health-related quality of life (HRQOL) even after surgical cure.
objectiveTo characterize patient and provider perspectives on recovery from CS, drivers of decreased HRQOL during recovery, and ways to improve HRQOL.
designCross-sectional observational survey.
participantsPatients (n = 341) had undergone surgery for CS and were members of the Cushing's Support and Research Foundation. Physicians (n = 54) were Pituitary Society physician members and academicians who treated patients with CS.
resultsCompared with patients, physicians underestimated the time to complete recovery after surgery (12 months vs 18 months,
conclusionPoor communication between physicians and CS patients may contribute to dissatisfaction with the postsurgical experience. Increased information on recovery, including helpful coping mechanisms, and improved provider-physician communication may improve HRQOL during recovery.
