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

Osilodrostat is a novel potent oral steroidogenesis inhibitor with a non-steroidal chemical structure, recently approved for the treatment of adult patients with endogenous Cushing's syndrome, and Cushing's disease not cured bytab pituitary surgery or in whom pituitary surgery is not an option. Osilodrostat has been evaluated in different multicentre phase II and III clinical studies, and has shown to have notable effects, such as significant reductions in cortisol secretion, associated with significant improvement in body weight, blood pressure, glucose metabolism, lipid profile, psychological status and quality of life. The favourable safety profile, combined with the relevant efficacy, could make osilodrostat suitable as medical treatment in several phases of the Cushing's syndrome treatment journey: before surgery, as preoperative treatment, or instead of surgery, in cases where surgery is not an option or refused, as first-line treatment; after surgery, in cases of persistent or recurrent disease, as second-line treatment; after second surgery or radiotherapy following pituitary surgery as bridging treatment waiting for the definitive disease control, as third-line treatment. Further real-world clinical experience data are needed to confirm the current knowledge.
