MR imaging analysis of posterior pituitary in patients with pituitary adenoma.
Article in International journal of clinical and experimental medicine, 2015. 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
objectiveThis study is to investigate posterior pituitary bright spot (PPBS) occurrence, distribution and its influencing factors by analyzing MRI-T1WI images in patients with pituitary adenoma (PA).
methodsA total of 123 cases of PA patients were enrolled in this study. PPBS occurrence, distribution and MR signal characteristics were studied. The relationship of PPBS with PA morphology, tumor size, tumor height and immunohistochemical types were explored.
resultsAmong the 123 case of PA patients enrolled in the study, 98 cases were PPBS (+) and 25 cases were PPBS (-). According to tumor morphology, PA was divided into hourglass type (43 cases), barrel type (63 cases) and wedge type (17 cases). Occurrence rate of PPBS (+) in barrel type was less than those in hourglass and wedge types (P < 0.05). Tumor volume and height in PPBS (+) group were less than these in PPBS (-) group (P < 0.05). PPBS signal size in wedge and barrel types were larger than that of hourglass type (P < 0.05).
conclusionsSagittal MRI-T1WI images could well show posterior pituitary and PPBS (+) was related to tumor morphology, volume and height but had nothing to do with immunohistochemical types.
