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

objectiveMultiple Endocrine Neoplasia Type 1 (MEN 1) is an autosomal dominant disease predisposing to hyperplasia and neoplasia in diverse endocrine tissues. Patients typically present with endocrine abnormalities before the age of 30 years and have reduced life expectancy. Our objective was to determine predictors of premature mortality in MEN 1.

designTertiary hospital based retrospective cohort study. PATIENTS: One hundred and thirty patients with a common MEN1 genotype. MEASUREMENTS: Kaplan-Meier survival analysis of median life expectancy (MLE).

resultsThe overall cohort MLE was 70.8 years. Sex and year of birth were not predictive of survival. A diagnosis before age 45 years of adrenal nodularity (MLE 51.8 years), hypergastrinaemia (MLE 66.2 years), or liver lesions (MLE 38.6) were associated with a significant reduction in survival (26.2 years, p < 0.01, 6.4 years, p = 0.03, and 30.3 years, p < 0.01 respectively) compared to being diagnosed with these conditions later in life. In contrast, diagnosis before age 45 years of pancreatic nodularity (MLE 68.9 years) and primary hyperparathyroidism (MLE 68.9 years) were not predictive of survival.

conclusionPatients with MEN 1 diagnosed before age 45 with adrenal nodularity, hypergastrinaemia or liver lesions had significantly reduced survival. The explanation for non-secretory and benign adrenal macronodular hyperplasia being associated with diminished life expectancy is unclear.
