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 caused by ectopic growth hormone-releasing hormone (GHRH)-secreting neuroendocrine tumor (NET) is extremely rare, with cosecreting NETs even more seldom. We report a case of a female patient who presented with primary hyperparathyroidism (pHPT) and a GHRH- and insulin cosecreting pancreatic NET (pNET) and genetically confirmed multiple endocrine neoplasia type 1 (MEN1), within an undiagnosed family with various MEN1-related NETs. Due to the diagnosis of MEN1, screening for pituitary tumor was performed with biochemical evidence of acromegaly. Sellar magnetic resonance imaging revealed a sellar lesion, which was excised and compatible with somatotroph hyperplasia. Postoperatively, the patient developed severe hypoglycemia requiring hospitalization and the pNET was removed. Histopathology confirmed GHRH and insulin secreting pNET. Ectopic acromegaly in MEN1 is exceedingly rare. Patients with MEN1 often present with multiple pNETs, which may exhibit multihormonal secretion and frequently cosecrete GHRH and insulin in MEN1, while hypoglycemia may not be manifested possibly due to GH and insulin's counteractive effects on glucose metabolism.
