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

Neuroendocrine tumors (NET) are a rare and diverse set of malignancies that can develop anywhere within the body. ACTH-producing mediastinal NETs often originate from the thymus in the anterior mediastinum and are very rare. Primary diagnostic modalities for NETs include CT scan, MRI, scintigraphy, and Ga-DOTA PET scan. Here we report a case of a young male without any past medical history presenting with hypercortisolism secondary to a middle mediastinal typical carcinoid tumor. The patient underwent a successful resection which reduced serum ACTH levels. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first case of Cushing syndrome caused by a middle mediastinal NET.
