Management of pituitary tumors in pregnancy.
Review in Nature reviews. Endocrinology, 2011. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 16 papers, 3 of them syntheses 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 tumors, usually adenomas, account for about 10-15% of all intracranial tumors. Their treatment, which includes surgery, medicine or radiotherapy, either isolated or in combination, aims to halt tumor growth or achieve tumor shrinkage, as well as control hormone hypersecretion or ensure hormone replacement. Such approaches have made pregnancy possible for women with pituitary adenomas. Medical therapy with dopamine agonists is the treatment of choice for most patients with prolactinomas, with surgery reserved for individuals resistant to drugs. On the other hand, surgery before conception is indicated as a first-line approach in patients with acromegaly, Cushing disease or clinically nonfunctioning pituitary macroadenomas. In these patient populations, medical therapy with somatostatin analogues (acromegaly) or drugs that target the adrenal glands, such as metyrapone and ketoconazole (Cushing disease), should be reserved for those in whom surgery is unsuccessful or contraindicated.
