Total resection of a solitary fibrous tumor of the sellar diaphragm: A case report.
Article in Oncology letters, 2013. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 5 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
The present study reports the case of a patient with a vision impairment in the right eye. Head computed tomography revealed a round, hyperdense mass in the sellar and suprasellar regions. Pituitary gland magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) revealed isointensity on T1- and T2-weighted imaging. Tumor-enhanced scanning showed heterogeneous contrast enhancement. The initial diagnosis was that of meningioma or pituitary tumor. A total tumor resection was performed using a right pterional approach under general anesthesia. During surgery, the base of the tumor was located on the sellar diaphragm of the left anterior pituitary stalk. The pathological diagnosis was of a solitary fibrous tumor (SFT). The patient had no post-operative diabetes insipidus or idiopathic pituitary hypofunction. The clinical experience, imaging information and pathological features of SFT in this case report may provide a reference for correct diagnosis and total resection of SFTs in the sella turcica.
