Unprovoked Deep Vein Thrombosis as a Manifestation of Cushing's Disease.
Article in Cureus, 2026. 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's disease is a rare condition, and patients have a higher risk of thromboembolism, specifically venous events. We present a case of a middle-aged woman who underwent sleeve surgery many years ago and slowly regained weight. She had two episodes of unprovoked deep vein thrombosis (DVT), and no risk factors were identified at the time of these events. She presented 10 years later with easy bruising, myopathy, gradual weight gain, and insomnia, and was found to have ACTH-dependent pituitary Cushing's. She successfully underwent endoscopic resection of her pituitary macroadenoma. She had worsening myalgia and myopathy immediately after surgery and is now recovering from glucocorticoid withdrawal syndrome after having untreated Cushing's disease for many years. Her insomnia has resolved almost completely, she has lost 60 pounds, her hypertension has resolved completely, and now she is off medications and remains in remission after 22 months. We conclude that Cushing's disease should be viewed as a risk factor for unprovoked venous thromboembolism and screened for, especially in obese patients.
