A case of Cushing Syndrome due to accidental intake of dexamethasone: a call for enforcement of regulatory laws.
Article in Ghana medical journal, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
Cushing syndrome could be a complication of long-term steroid use, resulting in a wide range of clinical presentations. Whereas some patients take medically prescribed doses of conventional medicines, including steroids for various ailments, others inadvertently consume unspecified doses by adulterating traditional medicines with these orthodox medications to increase their therapeutic appeal. Furthermore, some individuals with access to conventional medications may sell them in unlabelled packages as traditional medicines (TMs) to unsuspecting customers. This may lead to undesirable side effects and safety concerns. The case report highlights the problem of poorly regulated access to medications and makes suggestions to protect patrons' health of traditional medicines. Funding: None declared.
