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

Most clinically non-functioning pituitary tumour arise from gonadotroph cells. However, clinically functional pituitary gonadotroph adenoma is rare. Here we report a female case who presented with menstrual disturbances, however further workup demonstrated a pituitary microadenoma with elevated FSH and oestradiol level. Transsphenoidal resection was performed and the surgical histopathology confirmed pituitary gonadotroph adenoma. Postoperatively, improvement in both symptoms and hormonal profile were observed. Interestingly, the initially enlarged and polycystic ovaries became within normal range around eight months after the surgery. We suggest functional gonadotroph adenoma should be considered in the presence of gynaecological disorder with persistently elevated oestradiol and FSH levels.
