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

Multiple endocrine neoplasia type 1 (MEN1) is an autosomal-dominant disorder characterized by tumors of the pituitary, parathyroid, and endocrine-gastrointestinal tract. Pituitary neuroendocrine tumors (PitNETs) occur in about 40% of MEN1 cases, with 10% being the first manifestation. Recent studies show a slight female predominance, with microPitNETs (<1 cm) being more common than macroPitNETs (>1 cm). Functional PitNETs (FPitNETs) are more frequent than non-functional ones (36% to 48%), with prolactinomas being the most common FPitNETs. MEN1-associated PitNETs are often plurihormonal, larger, and more invasive compared to sporadic types, though patient age and FPitNET proportions are similar. MEN1 mutation-negative patients tend to have larger, symptomatic PitNETs at diagnosis. Six patients with MEN1 have been reported to have pituitary carcinomas, including a mutation- negative patient. Treatment approach between PitNETs in MEN1 and sporadic types appears to be similar. PitNETs also occur in MEN4, but their epidemiology is less understood. In patients with a MEN1-like phenotype and negative genetic testing, MEN4 should be considered.
