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

Surgery is the treatment of choice for nonfunctioning pituitary tumors (NFPTs). Postoperative tumor regrowth during follow-up is present in about half of the patients with invasive NFPTs with residual tumor but occurs also in 15% of patient without residue. Therapeutic strategies should consider this risk of recurrence and the potential side effects associated with therapeutic options. Identification of prognostic markers is mandatory to help clinicians to predict the risk of recurrence and to choose the best strategy between conservative follow-up, second surgery, postoperative adjuvant radiation therapy, and medical treatment (dopamine agonists, somatostatin analogs). Recent advances in pathological classification may be the first step for identification of NFPTs with a high risk of recurrence.
