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

Prolactinomas are the most prevalent functional pituitary adenomas. Significant advancements have been made in the diagnostic and therapeutic concepts for prolactinomas, driven by progress in surgical techniques and the accumulation of new clinical evidence-based medicine. Based on the 2014 version of the "Chinese Consensus on the Diagnosis and Treatment of Pituitary Prolactin Adenoma," the China Pituitary Adenoma Specialist Council has revised this consensus in accordance with the latest evidence-based medical finding and clinical experience, aiming to provide standardized diagnosis and treatment recommendations for clinicians. The consensus systematically elaborates on the epidemiological characteristics, clinical manifestations, diagnostic criteria, differential diagnosis process, and treatment strategies for prolactinomas, and proposes individualized management suggestions for special populations (such as pregnant women, male patients, and refractory cases). Treatment decisions strongly advocate for comprehensive evaluation by a multidisciplinary team of experts, including neurosurgery, endocrinology, radiology, radiation oncology, pathology, ophthalmology, and obstetrics/gynecology. Through the formulation of recommendation questions, evidence summary and evaluation, formation of recommendation opinions, expert discussions, and integration with clinical practice, 36 recommendations have been developed covering aspects such as screening, assessment, diagnosis, treatment, and monitoring. This consensus balances clinical needs with international evidence-based standards, provides a highly reliable reference for diagnosis and treatment, and is expected to enhance the standardization and overall level of prolactinoma diagnosis and treatment in China.Practice guideline registrationInternational Practice Guideline Registration for Transparency (PREPARE-2025CN1518).
