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

backgroundIn growth hormone-secreting pituitary adenomas (GHPA), postoperative hormonal non-remission and tumor recurrence determine clinical prognosis. Notably, some patients exhibit persistent hormonal abnormalities despite intraoperative gross total resection (GTR). This study systematically analyzes the prognostic risk factors in GHPA.

methodsThis study collected clinical information from 344 GHPA patients. Univariate and multivariate regression analyses were performed to screen independent risk factors for hormonal non-remission, tumor recurrence, and hormonal non-remission after GTR. Nomograms were established for predicting hormonal non-remission and 3-/5-year recurrence probabilities. Subgroup comparisons were performed to further analyze significant risk factors.

resultsMultivariate Logistic regression identified recurrent cases (

conclusionsPatients with high preoperative GH levels, higher Knosp grades, and recurrence often have a poorer prognosis after treatment. These results support stratified postoperative management and individualized monitoring of GHPA patients.
