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

introductionSomatostatin (SST) receptor ligands (SRL), in particular those of first generation (Octreotide and Lanreotide), are widely used in medical treatment of acromegaly, but they assure biochemical control of disease (and the possibility of an improvement of clinical symptoms and tumor shrinkage), only in a subset of patients. DISCUSSION: The mechanisms underlying the so called "SRL resistance" are various and involve in particular SST receptor expression and molecular pathways of signal transduction. Different predictors of SRL response have been reported, including clinical and biochemical features (gender, age, growth hormone and insulin-like growth factor-I levels at diagnosis), and tumor characteristic (both at preoperative magnetic resonance imaging study and histopathology) as well as expression of SST receptors. In some cases, only a "partial resistance" to SST can be detected, probably due to the presence of other impaired molecular mechanisms involved in signal transduction, which compromise specific pathways and not others. This may explain some cases of dissociated response between biochemical control and tumor shrinkage.
