Resolution of Visual Field Defect in Macroprolactinoma After Treatment With Cabergoline.
Article in Cureus, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 4 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
We report the case of a 49-year-old woman presenting with amenorrhea and progressive visual field defect for one month. Endocrinological workup revealed a high concentration of serum prolactin, and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) showed pituitary macroadenoma with extrasellar extension as well as compression of optic nerves. Treatment with a dopamine agonist, cabergoline, for eight weeks led to the resolution of the visual field defect accompanied by a rapid decrease in the serum prolactin level. Follow-up MRI three months after the initial diagnosis revealed alleviation of visible mechanical compression of the optic chiasm by the tumor. We considered that the absence of retinal nerve damage and prompt initiation of cabergoline contributed to the rapid recovery of the visual acuity.
