[Cephalgic syndrome in patients with acromegaly].
Review in Problemy endokrinologii, 2024. 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
The aim of this review is to summarize the data available in the literature on the causes of headache in patients with acromegaly, as well as on the effect of various methods of acromegaly treatment on headache. Publications were searched in the PubMed database using the keywords «Headache in patients with acromegaly», «Headache in patients with pituitary adenomas», «Tension-type headache», «Migraine». Headache in patients with pituitary adenomas secreting somatotropic hormone (STH) is not uncommon: according to various authors, cephalgic syndrome occurs in 30-70% of patients with acromegaly and can worsen their quality of life, along with other factors, up to disability. By the nature of development, headache with acromegaly is classified into primary (migraine, tension headache, trigeminal autonomic cephalgia, for example, SUNCT syndrome and cluster headaches), and can also be caused by various causes directly related to the tumor. All this requires differential diagnosis. The factors causing headaches in somatotropinomas have not yet been well studied and require further research. These include the mass effect of the tumor, hormonal hypersecretion, pathology of the temporomandibular joint, sodium and fluid retention in the body, psychological factors, etc. The authors evaluated the effect on headache of various methods of acromegaly treatment: transnasal transsphenoidal adenomectomy, radiation therapy and drug therapy with somatostatin analogues, dopamine agonists and growth hormone receptor antagonist. However, even when normal levels of STH and insulin-like growth factor 1 (IGF-1) are reached, cephalgic syndrome may persist, therefore patients should be warned about this in advance and referred to a cephalgologist to select adequate headache therapy.
