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

Endocrinopathies, such as thyroid and parathyroid diseases, disorders of the adrenal axis, and acromegaly are included among the many causes of myopathy. Muscle disturbances caused by endocrine disorders are mainly due to alterations in the protein and carbohydrate metabolisms. Either a deficiency or excess of hormones produced by the glands can cause muscle dysfunction that can be reversed by starting hormone replacement therapy or acting on hormone dysfunction. The diagnosis is usually easy if a muscle disorder occurs in an overt endocrinopathy; however, in few patients, myopathy could be the first manifestation of the underlying endocrinopathy. In this article we discuss pathophysiology, clinical features and management of muscle involvement related to the major endocrine diseases.
