Trial report in Journal of endocrinological investigation, 2018. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 8 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled it.

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

purposeTo evaluate the effect of pasireotide on β-cell and adipose function in patients with Cushing's disease (CD).

methodsClinical and hormonal parameters, insulin secretion evaluated by HOMA-β and by the area under the curve (AUC

resultsDuring 12 months of pasireotide treatment, a significant decrease in weight (p = 0.004), BMI (p = 0.008), waist circumference (p = 0.009), urinary free cortisol (p = 0.007), fasting insulinaemia (p = 0.007), HOMA-β (p = 0.015) and AUC

conclusions12 months of treatment with pasireotide in CD is associated with an impairment of insulin secretion and an improvement of adipose function without any interference in insulin sensitivity.
