Solitary fibrous tumor located in the sella turcica: A report of two cases and review of the literature.
Article in Oncology letters, 2015. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 9 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
Solitary fibrous tumors (SFTs) of the sella turcica are rare entities, with only four cases reported in the literature thus far. The current study describes two cases of SFT arising from the sella turcica, including presentation of the clinical, imaging and histopathological findings, and the initial treatment strategies and diagnosis, with emphasis on the treatment of the tumor in this unusual location. Magnetic resonance imaging is a useful method for identifying a solid or heterogeneous mass; however, histopathological and immunohistochemical data are required to clarify such diagnoses. The majority of SFTs exhibit clinically benign behavior and have a positive outcome; however, certain SFTs may present malignant features. Although gross total resection of SFTs in the sella turcica is important, subtotal resection with subsequent stereotactic radiotherapy is proposed as an acceptable alternative. Furthermore, careful and long-term follow-up of patients with SFT of the sella turcica is required as the clinical outcome is unpredictable.
