Cardiovascular and metabolic outcomes of GH replacement therapy in adults with GH deficiency - gender gaps.
Review in Pituitary, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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
Adult growth hormone (GH) deficiency is associated with increased body fat mass, abdominal obesity, dyslipidaemia, reduced exercise capacity, impaired cardiac function, reduced self-reported well-being, impaired quality of life, as well as increased morbidity. Randomised controlled trials and cohort studies, together with meta-analyses, have shown improved outcome in adult patients with hypopituitarism receiving GH, with a reassuring safety profile. Women with GH deficiency and hypopituitarism have greater morbidity and mortality than men, particularly in relation to metabolic and cardiovascular outcome. The response to GH replacement is also less favourable in women than in men. The reason for these differences in women and men with hypopituitarism is not entirely clear, but is likely related to the interaction between sex steroid and the somatotroph axis. In this narrative review we summarize the burden of GH deficiency in adults with hypopituitarism, and the impact of GH replacement, with focus on differences among women and men.
