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

Heterozygous germline mutations of the tumor suppressor gene MEN1 are responsible for multiple endocrine neoplasia type 1 (MEN1), a dominantly inherited familial cancer syndrome characterized by the combined occurrence of pituitary, parathyroid, and enteropancreatic tumors. Various types of mutations likely causing loss of the gene function have been identified throughout the entire gene region in patients with MEN1 and related disorders including a small fraction of familial isolated hyperparathyroidism (FIHP). Neither mutation hot spot nor phenotype-genotype correlation has been established in classical MEN1, although some missense mutations may be specifically associated with a phenotype of FIHP. Familial isolated pituitary tumor and atypical familial MEN1 consisting of only pituitary tumor and hyperparathyroidism usually lack germline MEN1 mutations, suggesting that these familial endocrine tumor syndromes are genetic entities distinct from MEN1. DNA test for MEN1 germline mutations is a robust tool for diagnosis of predisposition to MEN1, and will be useful for the counseling and management of patients and their families. In this review, we will summarize the most recent findings on the MEN1 gene, focusing primarily on germline mutations and associated diseases.
