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

Introduction: Case presentation: A 59-year-old man was admitted because of long-standing poor glycemic and blood pressure control. Endocrine evaluation showed suppressed plasma adrenocorticotropic hormone (ACTH) levels, loss of the circadian cortisol rhythm, and failure of cortisol suppression after the low-dose dexamethasone suppression test. Imaging revealed multiple bilateral adrenal nodules. Histopathological examination showed nodular lesions composed predominantly of clear, lipid-rich cells, with a small number of cells with eosinophilic cytoplasm at the periphery of the nodules. Genetic testing identified an Conclusion: This case confirms PBMAH caused by a novel nonsense variant in
