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

purposeWe aimed to identify differentially expressed spliceosome components in growth hormone (GH)-secreting pituitary tumors and investigate their roles in pathogenesis.

methodsWe performed transcriptome analysis of 20 somatotroph adenomas and 6 normal pituitary tissues to select dysregulated spliceosome components. Clinical characteristics were analyzed based on gene expression in 64 patients with acromegaly. Proliferation, invasion, and hormonal activity of GH secreting pituitary adenoma cells were investigated.

resultsTCERG1 expression was significantly higher in somatotroph adenomas than in normal pituitaries (log2 fold change 0.59, adjusted P = 0.0002

conclusionsSpliceosome machinery provide novel insights into the pathogenesis of GH-secreting pituitary tumor and highlight the potential role of TCERG1 as a biomarker for tumor aggressiveness.
