A systematic review of molecular alterations in invasive non-functioning pituitary adenoma.

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
purposeInvasive non-functional pituitary adenomas (NFPAs) constitute 35% of NFPAs. Despite a relatively large body of molecular investigations on the invasiveness of NFPA, the underlying molecular mechanisms of invasiveness are yet to be determined. Herein, we aimed to provide an overview of gene/microRNA(miRNAs) expression alterations in invasive NFPA.
methodsThis article describes a systematic literature review of articles published up to March 23, 2021, on the transcriptional alterations of invasive NFPA. Five digital libraries were searched, and 42 articles in total fulfilled the eligibility criteria. Pathway enrichment was conducted, and protein interactions among the identified deregulated genes were inferred.
resultsIn total 133 gene/protein transcriptional alterations, comprising 87 increased and 46 decreased expressions, were detected in a collective number of 1001 invasive compared with 1007 non-invasive patients with NFPA. Deregulation of CDH1, PTTG1, CCNB1, SNAI1, SLUG, EZR, and PRKACB, which are associated with epidermal-mesenchymal transition (EMT), was identified. Moreover, six members of the angiogenesis pathway, i.e., VEGFA, FLT1, CCND1, CTNNB1, MYC(c-MYC), and PTTG1, were detected. SLC2A1, FLT1, and VEGFA were also recognized in the hypoxia pathway. Physical interactions of CTNNB1 with FLT1, CCND1, and EZR as well as its indirect interactions with VEGFA, MYC, CCNB1, and PCNA indicate the tight interplay between EMT, angiogenesis, and hypoxia pathways in invasive NFPAs. In addition, Hippo, JAK-STAT, MAPK, Wnt, PI3K-Akt, Ras, TGF-b, VEGF, and ErbB were identified as interwoven signaling pathways.
conclusionIn conclusion, invasive NFPA shares very common deregulated signaling pathways with invasive cancers. A large amount of heterogeneity in the reported deregulations in different studies necessitates the validation of the expressional changes of the suggested biomarkers in a large number of patients with invasive NFPA.
