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

Cushing's syndrome (CS) is uncommon during pregnancy and often difficult to diagnose due to similar symptoms shared with normal pregnancy. This case report discusses a 26-year-old woman who developed CS while pregnant, underlining the importance of early detection and the diagnostic challenges involved. The patient presented with gestational diabetes and pre-eclampsia during pregnancy. Post delivery, she continued to experience hypertension and facial swelling, which led to a diagnosis of CS. The patient underwent a successful laparoscopic adrenalectomy, which normalized her blood pressure and improved her symptoms. This case highlights the need for heightened awareness of CS in pregnant women exhibiting both gestational diabetes and hypertension, as early diagnosis and treatment are essential to reduce maternofoetal complications.
