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

A silent corticotroph adenoma with multiple cysts was found incidentally at autopsy. By immunohistochemistry, most of the adenoma cells contained reactivity for adrenocorticotropic hormone and beta-endorphin; a few cells stained for beta-subunit of luteinizing hormone. The cysts, interspersed within the tumor, were lined by cuboidal epithelium with foci of stratified squamous epithelium. The lining cells contained immunoreactive keratin; some cells were positive for S-100 protein or glial fibrillary acidic protein, and a few cells were also immuno-stained for adrenocorticotropic hormone and beta-endorphin. It is suggested that this tumor may represent a neoplasm of pars intermedia derivation.
