Metabolic effects of dopamine-agonists treatment among patients with prolactinomas.
Article in Endocrine, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 5 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled 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.
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
purposeTo evaluate the effect of cabergoline treatment on metabolic parameters including the Triglyceride-glucose (TyG) index in newly diagnosed patients with prolactinoma.
methods71 consecutive nondiabetic patients with prolactinoma were enrolled. Anthropometric and laboratory tests including TyG index were measured at baseline, 3 and 6 months visits. Treatment with cabergoline at the dose of 0.25 mg twice weekly was started and increased according to prolactin levels and continued for 6 months.
resultsAt the baseline examination, the mean (SD) age, body mass index (BMI), waist circumference (WC), systolic blood pressure (SBP), and diastolic blood pressure (DBP) of patients were 36.2 (10.5) years, 29.2 (5.0) kg/m
conclusionShort-term treatment with cabergoline can significantly improve cardiovascular risk factors except for blood pressure. Moreover, the TyG index as a surrogate marker of insulin resistance decreased significantly after the reduction of prolactin by treatment. Generally, results were similar among both genders.
