Paraneoplastic Vitiligo Associated With Adrenocortical Carcinoma.
Article in JCEM case reports, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
Malignancies may induce clinical sequelae distant from the sites of the tumor. Such paraneoplastic phenomena are known to affect many organs, including the skin. Vitiligo is a disorder of patchy depigmentation, appearing as white macules with distinct margins. Rarely, vitiligo has been reported as a paraneoplastic occurrence, in the settings of pituitary adenoma, thymoma, gastric carcinoma, and lymphoma. We now describe a man presenting with the abrupt onset of vitiligo on the hands coinciding with recurrence of adrenocortical carcinoma (ACC) in the abdomen. The vitiligo rapidly dissipated following resection of his cancer. We believe this to be the first report of paraneoplastic vitiligo associated with ACC. Endocrinologists typically manage ACC and should be aware of this link, as the de novo observation of vitiligo may signal the onset or recurrence of underlying tumor. Other practitioners that encounter patients with new vitiligo should add ACC to their differential diagnosis of potential underlying conditions.
