[Fulminant hypercorticism due to ACTG producing pheochromocytoma].

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
Endogenous hypercorticism (EH) is a severe symptom complex caused by hypercortisolemia; according to the etiology, ACTH-dependent and ACTH-independent variants are distinguished, which, according to the literature, occur in 70-80% and 20-30% of cases, respectively. A rare cause of ACTH-dependent endogenous hypercorticism is ACTH-ectopic syndrome (ACTH-ES) (about 15-20% of cases). ACTH-ES is a syndrome of adrenocorticotropic hormone (ACTH) hyperproduction by neuroendocrine tumors of extrahypophyseal origin. Various tumors can secrete ACTH: bronchopulmonary carcinoid, small cell lung cancer, less frequently, thymus carcinoid, islet cell tumors and pancreatic carcinoid, medullary thyroid cancer, carcinoid tumors of the intestine, ovaries, as well as pheochromocytoma (PCC).This publication presents a clinical case of rarely detected paraneoplastic ACTH production by pheochromocytoma. The patient had clinical manifestations of hypercorticism, therefore, she applied to the Russian National Research Center of Endocrinology of the Ministry of Health of Russia. During the examination Cushing's syndrome (CS) was confirmed, multispiral computed tomography (MSCT) of the abdominal cavity revealed a voluminous formation of the left adrenal gland. Additional examination recorded a multiple increase in urinary catecholamine levels. Subsequently, the patient underwent left-sided adrenalectomy. The diagnosis of pheochromocytoma was confirmed morphologically, immunohistochemical study demonstrated intensive expression of chromogranin A and ACTH by tumor cells.
