Outcomes in pituitary adenoma causing acromegaly following endoscopic endonasal transsphenoidal surgery.
Article in Journal of neurosciences in rural practice. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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
Objectives: The objectives of the study were to study the analysis of outcomes after endoscopic endonasal transsphenoidal surgery (EETSS) in acromegaly in terms of surgical complications, clinical improvement, endocrinological remission, achievement of prognostically critical growth hormone (GH) level, and requirement of additional treatment. Materials and Methods: The study included 28 acromegaly patients, who underwent EETSS. A 2010 consensus criterion was used for defining remission. Assessment of prognostically critical GH level (random value <2.5 ng/ml), the extent of resection and additional treatment, was done at post-operative week (POW) 12. Results: All adenomas were macroadenomas; with a mean volume of 16.34 cm Conclusion: A successful EETSS can reduce adenoma volume to achieve clinical improvement, endocrinologic remission, and prognostically critical GH level with some complications related to surgery. Pre-operative larger volume and higher extension grades affect these outcomes adversely.
