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

We present a case report of a patient with a rare high-grade transformation of an acinic cell carcinoma (ACC) of the parotid gland, who developed Cushing's syndrome (CS) as a result of ectopic secretion of adrenocorticotropic hormone by the tumour. The hypercortisolism was successfully treated with metyrapone, and the ACC was treated with local radiotherapy and a combined six cycles of gemcitabine and cisplatin, having achieved a partial response to the tumour. A multidisciplinary approach and combined medical treatment with radiotherapy and were essential for disease control and CS management. ACC should be considered in the differential diagnosis of ectopic CS.
