A Review on Coexisting Giants: The Interplay Between Acromegaly and Diabetes Mellitus.
Review in Cureus, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 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
Acromegaly is a rare disease caused mainly by pituitary adenoma, which results in elevated growth hormone (GH) levels and its primary mediator, insulin-like growth factor (IGF-1). The condition causes various complications, including cardiovascular, respiratory, neuropsychiatric, metabolic, and gastrointestinal complications, which affect the patient's quality of life. Metabolically, there has been an increased incidence of acromegaly-associated diabetes mellitus (DM), IGF-1 being the primary mediator, affecting the patient's overall morbidity/mortality and associated surge in cardiovascular events. In the current state of medicine, both nonpharmacologic and pharmacologic approaches in managing acromegaly-associated DM are validated, having their own individualistic positive or negative impact on glucose metabolism. This review article has compiled studies to demonstrate a link between acromegaly. It summarises the existing data on acromegaly associated with DM, explicitly understanding the effect of various medical treatments on glucose homeostasis.
