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

backgroundPituitary adenoma and meningioma are the most common benign tumors in the central nervous system. Pituitary adenoma associated with meningioma (PAM) is a rare disease and the clinical features and mechanisms of PAM are unclear.

methodsWe summarized the clinical data of 57 PAM patients and compared with sporadic pituitary adenoma (SPA) and sporadic meningioma (SM). 5 pituitary adenomas of PAM and 5 SPAs were performed ceRNA microarray. qRT-PCR, Western Blot, siMEN1 and rapamycin inhibition experiment were validated for ceRNA microarray.

resultsClinical variable analyses revealed that significant correlations between PAM and female sex as well as older age when compared with SPA and significant correlations between PAM and transitional meningioma as well as older age when compared with SM. Additionally, the characteristics of PAM were significantly different for MEN1 patients. Functional experiments showed lower expression of MEN1 can upregulate mTOR signaling, in accordance with the result of ceRNA microarray. Rapamycin treatment promotes apoptosis in primary pituitary adenoma and meningioma cells of PAM.

conclusionsMEN1 plays an important role in PAM by upregulating mTOR signaling pathway. Rapamycin represents a potential therapeutic strategy for PAM in the future.
