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

Cushing's disease is a rare, but devastating condition, caused by corticotroph tumors. It rarely manifests as syndrome and very few isolated cases present with germline mutations. Instead, the vast majority of corticotroph tumors are sporadic monoclonal neoplasms. At present, the major recurrent somatic driver mutations are found in the USP8 gene, which encodes for a deubiquitinase that rescues proteins regulating ACTH synthesis. Almost half of functional corticotroph tumors carry somatic USP8 mutations that associate with a distinct transcriptomic and clinical profile. Other genes mutated in a small fraction of corticotroph tumors include the deubiquitinase encoding gene USP48 and the glucocorticoid receptor expressing NR3C1. Recent reports on somatic TP53 and ATRX mutations in corticotroph macroadenomas and carcinomas indicate that within specific patient subpopulations they are not as rare as assumed.
