Contemporary neurosurgical techniques for pituitary tumor resection.
Review in Journal of neuro-oncology, 2014. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 12 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
Approximately 5,000 trans-sphenoidal surgeries are performed for resection of pituitary tumors each year in the United States. The rise in popularity of the trans-spehnoidal approach, though described nearly a century ago, has been facilitated over the last decades by advances in technique and technology. In this review, we discuss the relative strengths of microscopic and endoscopic techniques for pituitary tumor resection. However, despite being the standard of care for patients with most pituitary tumors, cure rates for many subtypes of pituitary lesions, such as secretory macroadenomas or tumors with significant cavernous sinus invasion, remain unsatisfactory. We also describe two more recent advances in neurosurgical technique which may offer promise of increased rates of surgical cure: pseudocapsular resection and cavernous sinus approaches.
