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 report an adolescent boy diagnosed with ectopic adrenocorticotropin hormone syndrome (EAS) due to an atypical bronchial carcinoid. The patient was managed by a multidisciplinary team. He underwent surgery and subsequent chemotherapy and radiotherapy treatments. The patient is still under our follow-up. At the time of writing, eighteen pediatric and adolescent patients with EAS because of bronchial carcinoid tumors have been reported. EAS due to bronchial carcinoids is very rare in children and adolescents. Careful diagnostic evaluation and rapid treatment should be started immediately. Although complete remission is possible, atypical carcinoids have a more aggressive nature. A multidisciplinary approach and follow-up is recommended in terms of quality of life and survival.
