Nonalcoholic fatty liver disease with prolactin-secreting pituitary adenoma in an adolescent: A case report.

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
rationaleNonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD), among the commonest chronic liver disorders in children and adolescents, is considered a reflection of the current obesity epidemic in children and adults. This liver disease has been linked with various metabolic disorders, but not with prolactinoma (PRLoma). PATIENT CONCERNS: A 13-year-old Japanese girl manifested obesity, serum transaminase and γ-glutamyltransferase elevations, and amenorrhea. Abdominal ultrasonography showed fatty liver. Her serum prolactin concentration was elevated, and cranial magnetic resonance imaging showed a pituitary mass consistent with macroadenoma. DIAGNOSES: NAFLD and PRLoma. INTERVENTIONS AND OUTCOMES: After the patient's NAFLD failed to respond to diet and exercise, cabergoline treatment of the PRLoma decreased body weight, serum transaminase and γ-glutamyltransferase elevations, and ultrasonographic fatty liver grade as the tumor became smaller. LESSONS: Physicians should consider the possibility of PRLoma when diet and exercise fail to improve fatty liver disease in a patient with endocrine symptoms such as amenorrhea.
