Cerebral ischaemia in pituitary disorders--more common than previously thought: two case reports and literature review.
Review in Pituitary, 2014. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 5 papers, 2 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
Vasospasm and consequent cerebral ischaemia in aneurysmal subarachnoid haemorrhage are well-described. The development of cerebral ischaemia following pituitary tumour surgery is under-appreciated, and can be attributed to mainly cerebral vasospasm or internal carotid artery compression. We report on two patients with pituitary tumours who developed delayed cerebral ischaemia after transsphenoidal and transcranial pituitary macroadenoma decompression. The patients had vasospasm of intracranial vessels demonstrable on magnetic resonance angiogram. One recovered neurologically following nimodipine and hypertensive-hypervolaemia therapy while the other developed fulminant cerebral infarction. We discuss the complex multi-factorial mechanisms of cerebral ischaemia in pituitary disorders, as well as the management strategies and their limitations.
