An intrasellar mixed gangliocytoma-adenoma including ependymal component, and review of the literature.
Article in BMJ case reports, 2009. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 papers.
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
A rare case of intrasellar mixed gangliocytoma-adenoma including ependymal component, which presented clinically with acromegaly and menstrual disorder, is described here. The tumour was totally removed via trans-sphenoidal surgery. A histological examination of the resected specimen showed that the tumour was composed of ganglion cells, adenomatous cells and ependymal cells. Most intrasellar gangliocytomas are composed of two components: adenomatous cells and ganglion cells. In this case, in addition to mixed adenomatous and ganglion cells, focal ependymal cells forming small cysts were found. Based on these histopathological findings, it was inferred that stem cells existed in the pituitary gland during embryonic development. The stem cells were able to differentiate into three directions: ganglion cells, adenomatous cells and ependymal cells, and as a result an intrasellar mixed gangliocyto-adenoma including ependymal component developed.
