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

backgroundIt is unclear whether genotype-negative clinical multiple endocrine neoplasia type 1 patients derive equal benefit from prospective surveillance as genotype-positive patients.

methodsIn this retrospective cohort study, we compared genotype-negative patients with clinical multiple endocrine neoplasia type 1 with genotype-positive index cases. Primary outcome was age-related penetrance of manifestations; secondary outcomes were disease-specific survival and clinical course of endocrine tumors.

resultsWe included 39 genotype-negative patients with clinical multiple endocrine neoplasia type 1 (Male: 33%) and 63 genotype-positive multiple endocrine neoplasia type 1 index cases (Male: 59%). Genotype-negative patients with clinical multiple endocrine neoplasia type 1 were 65 years old at last follow-up; genotype-positive multiple endocrine neoplasia type 1 index cases were 50 (P < .001). Genotype-negative patients with clinical multiple endocrine neoplasia type 1 were significantly older at their first and second primary manifestation. Only 1 developed a third primary manifestation. No genotype-negative patients with clinical multiple endocrine neoplasia type 1 with primary hyperparathyroidism and a pituitary adenoma developed a duodenopancreatic neuroendocrine tumor. Disease-specific survival was significantly better in genotype-negative patients with clinical multiple endocrine neoplasia type 1. In genotype-negative patients with clinical multiple endocrine neoplasia type 1, primary hyperparathyroidism was single-gland disease in 47% of parathyroidectomies versus 0% in genotype-positive multiple endocrine neoplasia type 1 index cases. In genotype-negative patients with clinical multiple endocrine neoplasia type 1, 17% of duodenopancreatic neuroendocrine tumors were multifocal versus 68% in genotype-positive multiple endocrine neoplasia type 1 index cases. Genotype-negative patients with clinical multiple endocrine neoplasia type 1 had more pituitary macroadenomas, fewer prolactinomas, and more somatotroph adenomas.

conclusionGenotype-negative patients with clinical multiple endocrine neoplasia type 1 have a different clinical course than genotype-positive multiple endocrine neoplasia type 1 index cases. This may support a separate classification and a tailored surveillance regimen. Of the genotype-negative patients with clinical multiple endocrine neoplasia type 1 who had parathyroidectomy, almost half had no evidence of multigland disease and may be potential candidates for a more targeted single-gland approach.
