[Discordant parameters of insulin-like growth factor 1 and growth hormone in the diagnosis and monitoring of acromegaly].
Review in Problemy endokrinologii, 2021. 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
Acromegaly is a rare endocrine disorder associated with multiple complications and increased mortality. Timely diagnosis and adequate treatment can bring the life expectancy of patients with acromegaly closer to the general population level. The tests for the diagnosis of acromegaly are measurement of both serum GH, and GH after oral glucose administration; serum insulin-like growth factor-1 (IGF-1). However, in clinical practice, up to 39% of patients with discordant results are found. The patients with discordant GH and IGF-1levels, are the most difficult to manage. This review discusses the prevalence of discordant GH and IGF-1 outcomes in patients with acromegaly; factors causing this discrepancy; the impact of hormone levels on treatment outcomes. Although endocrinologists are used to dealing with this discrepancy in clinical practice for many years, discordant patients'outcome remains uncertain and undefined The optimal treatment should be individually tailored for each patient, taking into account all clinical parameters.
