Persistent Orthostatic Hypotension in a Patient With Acromegaly: Resolution With Transsphenoidal Hypophysectomy.
Article in Cureus, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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 condition characterized by excessive secretion of growth hormone from a pituitary tumor. It can affect multiple systems and can be fatal with cardiac dysfunction being the most common cause of death in these patients. Autonomic dysfunction is a less studied subject in patients with acromegaly, and the exact pathophysiology is still unclear. Here we present a case of a patient with persistent orthostatic hypotension, who was found to have acromegaly and pituitary adenoma upon further evaluation. Her orthostatic symptoms failed to improve with conservative measures and medical management, but unexpectedly resolved after transsphenoidal hypophysectomy was performed.
