Hematologic neoplasias and acromegaly.
Article in Pituitary, 2011. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 4 papers.
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
We report a 59-year-old acromegalic woman, who presented with generalized bone pain, weakness, fatigue and foamy urine, who was found to have multiple myeloma (MM); and a 60-year-old acromegalic woman with dizziness, vomiting and abdominal pain, high blood pressure and splenomegaly that was posteriorly diagnosed as having Waldenstrom's macroglobulinemia (WM). Acromegaly is an uncommon disease and epidemiological studies have provided increasingly debated evidence that elevated IGF-I levels might enhance the neoplastic risk, and that cancers constitute the third leading cause of mortality in acromegaly. It is known that GH and IGF-I can activate B cell lymphocytes, and that IGF-I receptor is universally expressed in MM cells. Although the complication of acromegaly with WM or MM in patients has rarely been reported until now, we described two case reports of acromegalic patients with those hematological neoplasias, which allow a discussion about this controversial issue.
