Adenoma receptors and histologic characteristics determining management outcomes.
Review in The Journal of clinical endocrinology and metabolism, 2026. 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
Patient responses to medical therapy for acromegaly are variable. Adenoma features, including histologic characteristics and receptor density, are closely associated with distinct clinical behavior and therapeutic outcomes. Densely granulated pure somatotropinomas respond more favorably to somatostatin receptor subtype 2 (SST2)-selective ligands (octreotide and lanreotide) compared with sparsely granulated adenomas. In contrast, sparsely granulated adenomas may respond more favorably to pasireotide, which has a higher affinity for somatostatin receptor subtype 5 (SST5). Expression levels of SST2 receptors are also associated with responsiveness to octreotide and lanreotide, whereas response to pasireotide is linked to higher SST5 expression. Recent prospective studies have highlighted that treatment strategies guided by biomarkers determining therapeutic response are more effective than standard, non-biomarker-based approaches. Current evidence supports the incorporation of biomarkers into decision-making for medical management of acromegaly, while these approaches are being further validated.
