Endocrine Evaluation in POEMS Syndrome: A Cohort Study.
Article in Frontiers in endocrinology, 2020. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 papers.
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
Endocrinopathy is an important characteristic of POEMS (polyneuropathy, organomegaly, endocrinopathy, monoclonal gammopathy, and skin changes) syndrome. However, endocrine responses to different regimens were unknown so far. Here we investigated endocrine characteristics in 383 patients with newly diagnosed POEMS syndrome and thyroid responses 1 year after treatment with autologous peripheral stem cell transplantation, melphalan plus dexamethasone, or lenalidomide plus dexamethasone. Overt hypothyroidism and subclinical hypothyroidism were noted in 20.6% (79/383) and 36.0% (138/383) of patients. Adrenal insufficiency was noted in 13.6% (43/316) of patients. Hyperprolactinemia was noted in 62.7% (207/330) of patients. Hypogonadism was noted in 48.0% (60/125) of female and 22.6% (51/226) of male patients. Thyroid function was significantly related with baseline risk stratification (
