[Efficacy of octreotide LAR and lanreotide autogel in acromegaly assessed by SAGIT].
Observational study in Revista medica del Instituto Mexicano del Seguro Social, 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
Background: Biochemical control has been the main objective in the treatment of acromegaly; however, GH and IGF-1 levels do not necessarily translate into clinical response, as they fail to account for the complexity of symptoms and patients' perceptions. The SAGIT instrument was developed to assist in assessing the status and evolution of the disease in patients with acromegaly and facilitate decision-making. Objective: To compare the efficacy of octreotide LAR and lanreotide autogel in managing patients with acromegaly using the SAGIT instrument. Material and methods: Observational, unicentric study, conducted in 2022 at a referral hospital in León, Guanajuato, Mexico. Results: Of 37 patients evaluated, 26 were included. 13 (50%) received lanreotide autogel and 11 (42.3%) received octreotide LAR. Disease control, as measured by IGF-1 levels, was achieved in 10 patients (42.3%). When assessing control using the SAGIT instrument, 8 patients (30.7%) met control criteria. Octreotide LAR showed greater disease control as assessed by SAGIT compared to lanreotide autogel (p = 0.043). Conclusions: Based on the SAGIT instrument, octreotide LAR is more effective for disease control in patients with acromegaly than in those patients treated with lanreotide. The preferential use of octreotide LAR could be recommended in resource-limited settings.
