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

purposeTo estimate the total number of articles on traumatic brain injury (TBI)-related hypopituitarism and patients (including children and adolescents) with such disorder that were published until now, particularly after the author's review published on April 2000.

methodsReview of the literature retrievable on PubMed.

resultsTBI-related hypopituitarism accounts for 7.2% of the whole literature on hypopituitarism published during the 18 years and half between May 2000 and October 2018. As a result, the total number of patients with TBI-related hypopituitarism now approximates 2200. A number of patients, both adults and children, continue to be published as case reports. Articles, including reviews and guidelines, have been published in national languages in order to maximize locally the information on TBI-related hypopituitarism. TBI-related hypopituitarism has been also studied in animals (rodents, cats and dogs).

conclusionsThe interest for the damage suffered by anterior pituitary as a result of TBI continues to remain high both in the adulthood and childhood.
