Ectopic Adrenocorticotropic Hormone Syndrome due to Pancreatic Neuroendocrine Carcinoma.

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
A 55-year-old woman presented to her primary care physician with facial and lower leg edema. After being referred to our hospital because of hypothyroidism and hypokalemia on blood tests, she also had elevated adrenocorticotropic hormone (ACTH) and cortisol levels, but a dexamethasone suppression test showed no cortisol suppression. Ectopic ACTH syndrome due to pancreatic neuroendocrine carcinoma (PNEC) was suspected. endoscopic ultrasound-guided fine-needle aspiration was performed, and a histopathological examination of the obtained specimen revealed multiple liver metastases of the PNEC. Imaging after etoposide and cisplatin therapy showed cystic changes in the primary lesions and shrinkage of the liver metastases, and the ACTH levels were within the normal range.
