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

purposeGonadotroph pituitary tumors (GnPiT) represent 70-75% of clinically non-functioning tumors in surgical series. Their proportion has increased with the diagnostic use of transcription factors in addition to gonadotropin immunostaining, but the prevalence of functioning cases has not been re-evaluated. The aim is to provide a comprehensive, up-to-date characterization of GnPiT, including pathological subtyping and search for whispering/functioning cases (

methodsA single-center retrospective study of patients who received a pathological diagnosis of GnPiT between 2020 and 2022. Clinical, hormonal, and pathological data were analyzed according to sex and age, with short-term post-operative re-evaluation. Histological subtypes were defined according to hormone immunostaining.

results151 patients (103 M, 48 F) were studied. The diagnosis was incidental in 72 cases (48.0%). Age distribution at diagnosis was normal in males (median 63 years (25-89)), and bimodal in females (median age 58 years (26-84)). A single case of overt hyperfunction, revealed by ovarian hyperstimulation syndrome, occurred. The prevalence of likely

conclusionClinically relevant hypersecretion remains uncommon in GnPiT but may be under-evaluated. No significant differences in tumor behavior emerged among pathological subtypes.
