1 · What the graph read from it

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.

2 · The registry

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

Ectopic adrenocorticotropic hormone syndrome is a distinct subtype of endogenous Cushing's syndrome characterized by excessive cortisol secretion, which increases susceptibility to opportunistic infections. Herein, we present the case of a male patient in his early 40s who was admitted with fatigue and bilateral lower-extremity edema. Laboratory tests revealed markedly elevated serum adrenocorticotropic hormone and cortisol levels. Ectopic adrenocorticotropic hormone syndrome was confirmed via dexamethasone suppression testing and somatostatin receptor-targeted positron emission tomography-computed tomography, which localized an ectopic adrenocorticotropic hormone-secreting right pulmonary carcinoid tumor (a neuroendocrine tumor). During hospitalization, the patient was diagnosed with concurrent
