Medical therapy for refractory pituitary adenomas.
Review in Pituitary, 2023. 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
introductionRefractory pituitary adenomas are those that have progressed following standard of care treatments. Medical therapy options for these challenging tumors are limited. PURPOSE: To review the landscape of tumor directed medical therapies and off-label investigational approaches for refractory pituitary adenomas.
methodsLiterature on medical therapies for refractory adenomas was reviewed.
resultsThe established first-line medical therapy for refractory adenomas is temozolomide, which importantly may increase survival, but clinical trial data are still needed to clearly establish its efficacy, identify biomarkers of response, and clarify eligibility and outcome criteria. Other therapies for refractory tumors have only been described in case reports and small case series.
conclusionThere are currently no approved non-endocrine medical therapies for refractory pituitary tumors. There is an urgent need for identifying effective medical therapies and studying them in multi-center clinical trials.
