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

Acromegaly is a rare endocrine disorder caused by excessive growth hormone secretion. Its low prevalence poses challenges in studying its long-term prognosis and systemic effects. To address this research gap, we conducted five studies using nationwide cohort data from the Korean National Health Insurance Database (NHID). This review consolidates the findings of these studies, which examined various long-term effects of acromegaly. The results demonstrated significant associations between acromegaly and increased mortality, a higher prevalence of mortality, cardiovascular outcomes, neurodegenerative diseases, depression, end-stage kidney disease, respiratory complications, specifically bronchiectasis, spine & hip fracture, and malignancy. These findings highlight the critical need for early diagnosis, comprehensive care, and long-term monitoring, and underscore the importance of a multidisciplinary approach in managing acromegaly.
