Multiple intracranial and spinal metastases from a nonfunctioning pituitary adenoma following multiple surgeries: an illustrative case with 16 years of follow-up.
Article in World journal of surgical oncology, 2014. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 4 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
Pituitary adenomas are the third most common primary intracranial tumor; however, those with postoperative metastases are very rare and are classically considered as pituitary carcinomas. The field of neurosurgery has struggled with diagnosing and treating these unusual lesions. In this report, we retrospectively analyze the clinical features, imaging findings, pathological characteristics and prognosis of one patient with non-hormone-secreting pituitary adenoma who had multiple intracranial and spinal metastases and underwent four surgeries in a 16-year follow-up period. In addition, on the basis of the existing literature, we explore the underlying mechanisms of, as well as the preventive and therapeutic strategies used to treat, pituitary carcinomas and postoperative metastasis of pituitary tumors.
