1 · What the graph read from 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.

2 · The registry

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

Hypothalamic hamartomas are benign tumors composed of ectopic neural and glial tissue. They have a low prevalence and are usually associated with central precocious puberty or epilepsy with gelastic seizures. The presentation beyond childhood is rare, and the symptoms are not the same as in childhood. Here, we report the case of a woman who presented with secondary amenorrhea and headaches revealing a giant hamartoma of the tuber cinereum (TC). The hormonal assessment showed moderate hyperprolactinemia. Synacthen testing was normal. Magnetic resonance imaging revealed a suprasellar hamartoma on the TC measuring 20 mm with sellar extension. The optic chiasma and cavernous sinuses were clear. Hyperprolactinemia was explained by mechanical compression of the pituitary stalk. The patient started cabergoline orally (1 mg per week)
