A Brief History of Glandular Therapy: More Than Just Thyroid.
Review in Integrative medicine (Encinitas, Calif.), 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
In the late 1800s, treatment with thyroid extract caused dramatic improvement in patients with myxedema. Shortly thereafter, multiple other glandular extracts became available, both individually and in combinations. Their use gradually fell into disfavor, partly due to overpromotion by the manufacturers. The history of the use of thyroid, pancreatic, adrenal, thymus and liver extracts suggests that glandular extracts can be beneficial, especially when potential mechanisms of action and methods of preparation are considered.
