Challenges in the postsurgical recovery of cushing syndrome: glucocorticoid withdrawal syndrome.
Review in Frontiers in endocrinology, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 5 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
Glucocorticoid withdrawal syndrome is a challenging clinical phenomenon that can complicate the postsurgical recovery of Cushing syndrome. It is characterized by physical tolerance and dependence to supraphysiologic glucocorticoid exposure during active Cushing syndrome followed by the abrupt decline in cortisol levels after surgical treatment. The symptoms of glucocorticoid withdrawal often overlap with those of postoperative adrenal insufficiency and can be difficult for patients to cope with and for clinicians to treat. This mini review will discuss the clinical characteristics, pathophysiology, and management of glucocorticoid withdrawal syndrome while highlighting recent data in the field.
