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
Doege-Potter Syndrome (DPS) is a rare paraneoplastic cause of hypoglycaemia, arising from solitary fibrous tumours (SFTs) that ectopically secrete insulin-like growth factor II (IGF-II). We report a case of DPS in a 76-year-old man presenting with recurrent severe hypoglycaemia. Biochemistry investigations revealed hypoglycaemia with suppressed insulin, C-peptide and beta-hydroxybutyrate levels. Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) confirmed a giant (205 × 190 × 169 mm) right pleurally-based SFT. Hypoglycaemia was managed with intravenous dextrose infusion and glucagon until surgical resection via thoracotomy. A massive transfusion protocol was activated for intra-operative bleeding. Histopathology confirmed a spindle cell SFT without malignant features. Post-operative blood glucose levels normalised, and the patient was discharged without complication. This case highlights the diagnostic challenges of DPS, the potential to maintain pre-operative normoglycaemia without glucocorticoid therapy and the importance of recognising tumour vascularity to guide pre-operative planning and reduce bleeding risk.
