Cushing's syndrome as a paraneoplastic feature of renal cell carcinoma: A case report.
Article in Urology case reports, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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
Cushing's syndrome has been believed to be a paraneoplastic syndrome of renal cell carcinomas. However, there appears to be a dearth of compelling evidence to substantiate this notion. The only eligible documentation of Cushing's syndrome due to ectopic adrenocorticotropic hormone secretion by renal cancer in English literature dates back to 1988, and it pertains to a deceased patient discovered during an autopsy. Here, we present the first case of Cushing's syndrome as a paraneoplastic feature of renal cancer which showed complete resolution following surgical removal of the tumor. Additionally, we conduct review of the literature on this particular subject.
