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

introductionThe occurrence of hypercortisolism resulting from adrenocorticotropic hormone (ACTH)-secreting pheochromocytoma is exceedingly uncommon, with limited documented instances thus far. PRESENTATION OF CASE: We present a case of ectopic ACTH-secreting pheochromocytoma in a patient who suffered from severe metabolic disorders. Our clinical case outlines the diagnostic history, preoperative correction of the patient's metabolic disturbances and surgical strategy for management of a rare ectopic ACTH producing pheochromocytoma. DISCUSSION: Ectopic adrenocorticotropic hormone-secreting pheochromocytoma displays multifaceted clinical features and requires prompt diagnosis and multidisciplinary management in order to overcome the related severe clinical derangements.

conclusionThe combination of biochemical and hormonal testing and imaging procedures is mandatory for the diagnosis of ectopic ACTH secretion, and in the presence of an adrenal mass, the possibility of an ACTH-secreting pheochromocytoma should be taken into account.
