Prolactin-derived amyloid in the aging pituitary gland.
Article in The American journal of pathology, 1997. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 10 papers.
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
Small amyloid deposits occur commonly in different organs in association with aging. As in other amyloids, the fibrils in the age-associated forms are built up by specific proteins, unique to every histological type. The amyloid proteins that have been identified in localized amyloid of human endocrine organs have all been of polypeptide hormone nature, and these include calcitonin, islet amyloid polypeptide (amylin), and atrial natriuretic factor. In the present study, we add prolactin to the increasing group of known amyloid proteins and show that this hormone constitutes the amyloid fibrils of pituitary glands of aging individuals.
