Sclerosing epithelioid fibrosarcoma of the pituitary.
Article in Endocrine pathology, 2007. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 10 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
Primary pituitary sarcoma in the absence of previous radiation therapy is very rare, only eight cases having been reported. We present the first reported case of sclerosing epithelioid fibrosarcoma of the pituitary, a 56-year-old woman presenting with diplopia and panhypopituitarism. Magnetic resonance imaging showed a 1.2 x 0.4 x 0.5-cm sellar mass invading the right cavernous sinus. Despite surgery and radiation therapy, our patient developed intracranial metastases and died 2 years after the initial diagnosis. Sclerosing epithelioid fibrosarcoma is an infrequently occurring, distinct variant of soft tissue fibrosarcoma. Its immunophenotype includes vimentin and occasionally CD-34, B cell lymphoma-2, S-100 protein, or keratin expression. Although initially thought to be a low-grade lesion, sclerosing epithelioid fibrosarcomas may also behave in a high-grade manner.
