Characterization of the ability of a, second-generation SST-DA chimeric molecule, TBR-065, to suppress GH secretion from human GH-secreting adenoma cells.

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
contextSomatostatin (SST) and dopamine (DA) inhibit growth hormone (GH) secretion and proliferation of GH-secreting pituitary adenomas (GHomas) through binding to SSTR2 and D2R receptors. Chimeric SST-DA compounds (Dopastatins) display increased potency in inhibiting GH secretion, as compared with individual SST or DA analogs (alone or combined).
objectiveTo assess the efficacy of a second-generation dopastatin, TBR-065, in suppressing GH secretion from human GH- and GH/prolactin(PRL)-omas.
designWe compared the ability of TBR-065 to inhibit GH secretion from primary cultures of human GH- or GH/PRLoma cells to that of the first generation dopastatin, TBR-760 (formerly BIM-23A760), octreotide (OCT) and cabergoline (CAB), the later either alone or combined. We investigated whether there was any impact of BIM-133, the metabolite of TBR-065, on the ability of TBR-065 to inhibit GH in these cultures.
methods17 GH- and GH/PRLomas were included in this study. Inhibition of GH secretion by TBR-065, TBR-760, OCT and CAB (0.1 pM to 0.1 µM) was assessed over a period of 8 h.
resultsAll tumors expressed SSTR2 and D2R mRNAs. GH suppression was higher with TBR-065 as compared with TBR-760 (E
conclusionTBR-065 has significantly improved efficacy in suppressing GH secretion as compared to current available therapies and may represent a new promising option for the treatment of acromegaly.
