Double adenoma of the pituitary: a somatotroph adenoma colliding with a gonadotroph adenoma.
Article in Journal of endocrinological investigation, 2000. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 14 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled 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.
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
Pituitary collision tumors are rare. They may create difficult diagnostic problems and their histogenesis is not clear. We report here an unusual case of a somatotroph adenoma colliding with a gonadotroph adenoma.The 64-year-old man had clinical acromegaly. His blood growth hormone level was elevated and magnetic resonance imaging demonstrated a pituitary tumor. The surgically removed sellar mass was investigated by histology, immunocytochemistry and electron microscopy. Morphologic study revealed a collision tumor; one was a somatotroph adenoma, the other a gonadotroph adenoma. Authors call attention to the difficulties in clinical, imaging and pathological diagnosis. Detailed morphologic studies are needed to establish the presence of two distinct tumors composed of two different cell types.
