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

backgroundSeveral cases of autoimmune disease onset after treatment for Cushing's syndrome have been reported. CASE PRESENTATION: Herein, we report a case of myasthenia gravis crisis in a 51-year-old woman 2 months after adrenalectomy for adrenal Cushing's syndrome accompanied by takotsubo cardiomyopathy. The resolution of excessive endogenous cortisol after adrenalectomy may have triggered the onset of previously latent myasthenia gravis.

conclusionsObserving the similarities in symptoms between myasthenia gravis and adrenal crisis, which can sometimes be challenging to differentiate, is essential. Moreover, the presence of takotsubo cardiomyopathy as a non-motor manifestation of myasthenic crisis must be noted.
