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

The anterior pituitary gland secretes hormones that regulate developmental and physiological processes, including growth, the stress response, metabolic status, reproduction and lactation. During embryogenesis, cellular determination and differentiation events establish specialized hormone-secreting cell types within the anterior pituitary gland. These developmental decisions are mediated in part by the actions of a cascade of transcription factors, many of which belong to the homeodomain class of DNA-binding proteins. The discovery of some of these regulatory proteins has facilitated genetic analyses of patients with hormone deficiencies. The findings of these studies reveal that congenital defects-ranging from isolated hormone deficiencies to combined pituitary hormone deficiency syndromes-are sometimes associated with mutations in the genes encoding pituitary-acting developmental transcription factors. The phenotypes of affected individuals and animal models have together provided useful insights into the biology of these transcription factors and have suggested new hypotheses for testing in the basic science laboratory. Here, we summarize the gene regulatory pathways that control anterior pituitary development, with emphasis on the role of the homeodomain transcription factors in normal pituitary organogenesis and heritable pituitary disease.
