Study of Pituitary Morphometry Using MRI in Indian Subjects.
Article in Indian journal of endocrinology and metabolism. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 12 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
aimTo establish normative measurements of pituitary gland in Indian population. MATERIAL AND
methodsIn this cross-sectional study, we measured dimensions of pituitary gland in 482 (213 females and 269 males) Indian subjects with apparently normal pituitary gland function. Mid-sagittal T1-weighted image (T1-WI) on magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) was used to measure height and length of pituitary gland. Pituitary gland width was measured using coronal T1-WI and pituitary gland volume was calculated.
resultsMean height, length and calculated volume of pituitary gland was significantly higher in females compared to males (
conclusionOur study provides age and sex wise normative data for pituitary measurements derived from Indian population.
