Cushing's Syndrome Due to a Functional Thymic Neuroendocrine Tumor in Multiple Endocrine Neoplasia Type 1 Syndrome.
Article in Cureus, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 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
Multiple endocrine neoplasia type 1 (MEN 1) syndrome is characterized by endocrinopathies and could be associated with thymic neuroendocrine tumors (NET). On rare occasions, they can be functional adrenocorticotropic hormone-secreting thymic carcinoid leading to Cushing's syndrome. In this report, we describe a case of adrenocorticotropic hormone (ACTH)-dependent Cushing's syndrome due to a thymic NET associated with MEN type 1 syndrome. We highlight its aggressive clinical course, the premise for a high index of suspicion for an ectopic ACTH secretion, and the need for early surgical resection combined with medical therapy and alternative treatments.
