Determining the normal range of the dimensions and volume of the pituitary gland of children using a 3D magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) protocol in Imam Hossein Hospital of Isfahan in 2021 to 2024.
Article in American journal of neurodegenerative disease, 2025. 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
backgroundUnderstanding the morphological changes and dimensions of the pituitary gland is crucial for accurate diagnosis and personalized treatment in pediatric patients. Advanced imaging techniques, such as 3D magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), enhance our ability to address knowledge gaps and improve clinical practices in pediatric endocrinology. This study aims to determine normative pituitary gland dimensions and volumes in pediatric patients at Imam Hossein Hospital in Isfahan using advanced 3D MRI protocols.
methodsConducted as a prospective cross-sectional study, this research focused on children under 15 years without specific conditions. A total of 412 participants were selected through simple random sampling, and data were analyzed using SPSS version 20 to rigorously assess measurements and extract insights beneficial for pediatric endocrinology.
resultsThe study included participants aged 0 to 15 years, with a higher representation of boys (63.83%) compared to girls (36.17%). Significant differences were observed in height and volume based on gender and age group. Scatterplots illustrated variations in the pituitary gland's volume, width, height, and anterior-posterior diameter according to age and gender.
conclusionThis research provides valuable insights into pediatric endocrinology, facilitating accurate diagnosis and treatment of pituitary disorders in children.
