"Who and how to screen for endogenous hypercortisolism among young women presenting with clinical hyperandrogenism and/or menstrual abnormalities ".
Review in Journal of endocrinological investigation, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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 Cushing's syndrome (CS) is rare, with an incidence of 0.7-2.4 per million population per year according to population-based studies. However, evaluation of patients presenting disorders potentially related to cortisol excess, and therefore with a 'high risk of clinical suspicion' profile, could bring out several unrecognized cases. CS represents one of the most challenging endocrine diseases, with clinical features overlapping with those of common conditions affecting general population, invariably resulting in potential mis- or delayed diagnosis with negative consequences in terms of morbidity and mortality. CS is remarkably prevalent among young females, variably presenting with menstrual irregularities and/or signs and symptoms of hyperandrogenism. Herein we briefly reviewed literature on prevalence and clinical impact of menses abnormalities, acne and hirsutism -also coexisting in the context of a polycystic ovary syndrome- in CS, aiming at clarifying if, when and how to screen for hypercortisolism young women with these disorders.
