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
Although several series of pineal region tumors are available, the issue of pineal gliomas has been scarcely faced in the literature. Gliomas are usually included in largest series of pineal neoplasms. Therefore, whether pineal gliomas share the biological behavior of either hemispheric gliomas or other midline lesions is not yet defined. The aim of this retrospective study is to analyze long-term morbidity and mortality of these lesions. In English published literature gliomas account for about 14-22 % of all pineal region tumors. Most of these tumors are pilocytic astrocytomas, while glioblastoma multiforme is rare. We retrospectively analyzed all pineal region tumors operated on in our department in the last 28 years, and identified eight pineal astrocytomas, accounting for 14.03 % of all pineal tumors. The series includes four pilocytic astrocytomas, two grade II diffuse astrocytomas, and two anaplastic astrocytomas. A comprehensive review of the available literature data shows that the mean survival time of WHO grade II gliomas is shorter when tumor grows in the pineal region than for hemispheric locations, although the limited amount of available data prevents a rigorous statistical analysis. This difference might be due to the peculiar infiltrating behavior of pineal tumors, which often can't be satisfactorily resected from vital structures.
