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

Acromegaly is a rare disease caused by overproduction of growth hormone (GH) by a pituitary adenoma, and consequently increased insulin-like growth factor 1 (IGF-1) concentration. The GH/IGF-1 axis and immune cells interactions are hypothesized to be involved in subclinical inflammation. This retrospective study aimed to investigate the differences in neutrophil-to-lymphocyte (NLR), platelet-to-lymphocyte (PLR) ratios, and systemic immune-inflammation index (SII) in GH-secreting adenomas compared with non-functioning pituitary adenomas (NFPAs) concerning clinical and radiological findings. After evaluation of 665 patients with pituitary tumors, 62 individuals with newly diagnosed acromegaly and 134 with NFPAs were enrolled in the analysis. The control group consisted of 120 healthy individuals. Fifty-eight patients with acromegaly were re-evaluated after medical or surgical therapies. NLR, PLR, SII values, and neutrophil count were significantly higher (
