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

objectiveBalance impairment is an underrecognized complication of acromegaly with potentially serious consequences for affected patients. In this study, we aimed to assess the balance in patients with long-term acromegaly compared to non-acromegalic controls.

designCross-sectional study. PATIENTS AND MEASUREMENTS: Seventeen patients with acromegaly and 17 age- and sex-matched controls were examined using a force platform measuring the Centre of Pressure area (CoP

resultsCompared to controls, participants with acromegaly (mean acromegaly duration 13 [±8.8] years, latest mean IGF-I standard deviation score 1.2 [±1.59]) had significantly increased CoP

conclusionsBoth static and dynamic balance is impaired in patients with long-term controlled acromegaly, warranting clinical attention. Further studies are needed to address therapeutic options for this overlooked and potentially serious complication.
