Associations of age, BMI, and renal function to cortisol after dexamethasone suppression in patients with adrenal incidentalomas.
Article in Frontiers in endocrinology, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 5 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
Introduction: The specificity of cortisol after 1 mg dexamethasone (cortisol Methods: We studied 1,129 patients with AI examined from 2005 to 2015 at Skåne University Hospital and Helsingborg Hospital. The covariates studied were gender, age, BMI, estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR), treatment with inhalation steroids, size of the AI, and size of the smallest AI in patients with bilateral AI (set to 0 in unilateral AI). We used machine learning models to uncover potential nonlinear associations. They were trained to fit the data and examined using feature importance analysis and partial dependence plots. Partial dependence plots show the marginal effect on cortisol Results: Cortisol Conclusions: Cortisol
