Pineal parenchymal tumor of intermediate differentiation with papillary features: a continuum of primary pineal tumors?
Article in Journal of neuro-oncology, 2011. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 5 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
Pineal parenchymal tumors comprise a rare group of primary neoplasms of the pineal gland. We describe a case involving a 29-year-old woman who presented with signs and symptoms of hydrocephalus secondary to a pineal region tumor obstructing the third ventricle. Surgical resection was performed and pathological analysis revealed a novel diagnosis consistent with a pineal parenchymal tumor of intermediate differentiation (PPTID) with transition to a papillary tumor of the pineal region (PTPR). To our knowledge, this particular pineal region tumor pathology has not yet been reported in the literature and highlights the continuum with which primary pineal tumors exist. We provide a review of the existing literature on pineal region tumors, specifically PTPR and PPTID, and offer insight into the management of these rare neoplasms.
