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
Cyclic Cushing syndrome (CCS) is characterized by unpredictable, intermittent phases of excess cortisol, alternating with periods of normal or subnormal adrenocorticotropic hormone (ACTH) and cortisol levels. The mechanism is unclear. Due to its rarity and diverse clinical presentation, unpredictable phases, and various etiologies, CCS poses significant diagnostic and management challenges for endocrinologists. The authors describe 3 cases in which each patient's initial presentation was a life-threatening hypercortisolemic phase that lasted from 4 days to 3 months, followed by spontaneous resolution to prolonged eucortisolemic phases lasting from 10 to 26 months. Further testing indicated an ectopic ACTH-secreting source; however, the locations of the offending tumors were indeterminate. The authors propose the term
