Article in Case reports in endocrinology, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 12 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
Background: Iatrogenic Cushing's syndrome is commonly seen as a complication of chronic steroid use. While most often associated with the use of prescription oral steroids, rare cases result from unintentional steroid exposure. In particular, numerous complementary and alternative medicines have been found to contain steroids not previously known to users. Conclusion: A thorough history of medication use to include over-the-counter medications and supplements may be required to identify the source of exogenous glucocorticoids in iatrogenic Cushing's syndrome.
