Angiographically documented cerebral vasospasm following transsphenoidal surgery for pituitary tumors.
Article in Pituitary, 2013. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 8 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
Symptomatic cerebral vasospasm (CVS) after transsphenoidal surgery (TSS) is very rare compared with vasospasm resulting from aneurysmal subarachnoid hemorrhage (SAH). Fewer than six cases documented by cerebral angiography have been reported. We evaluated the records of 15 patients in whom SAH developed after TSS. Their clinical symptoms, radiological and laboratory findings were analyzed. Among 15 patients with postoperative SAH, 11 did not show CVS during their postoperative course. However, four patients presented with various clinical symptoms suggestive of CVS on postoperative days 7-9. They showed an abrupt drop of serum sodium level 1 or 2 days before the onset of CVS symptoms. Patients with TSS-related SAH should be managed with proactive and aggressive treatment. Hyponatremia, which usually occurs around the first week after TSS, should not be ignored as a matter of metabolic or hormonal disequilibrium commonly encountered after pituitary surgery.
