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

backgroundEctopic adrenocorticotropic hormone (ACTH)-secreting lung tumors represent the most common cause of ectopic Cushing syndrome (ECS). Pulmonary opportunistic infections are associated with ECS. The present study aimed to evaluate the usefulness of

methodsWe retrospectively reviewed the imaging data of 24 patients with ECS who were suspected to have ACTH-secreting lung tumors and underwent

resultsIn total, 18 patients had lung tumors and six had pulmonary infections. The primary source of ECS remained occult in the six patients with pulmonary infections. The maximum standardized uptake value (SUV

conclusionsOur findings suggest that pulmonary infections exhibit significantly higher FDG uptake than ACTH-secreting lung tumors in
