Relationship between pituitary adenoma texture and collagen content revealed by comparative study of MRI and pathology analysis.
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 27 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
This study is to reveal the relationship between pituitary adenomas and tumor texture by comparing MRI and pathologic results. Preoperative imaging data of 38 cases of pituitary adenoma patients and collagen content of tumor specimens measured by histopathological were analyzed and compared. T2WI and diffusion coefficient assessment were used to reveal the relationship between tumor texture and collagen content. There were 13 cases of soft texture, 17 cases of medium texture and 8 cases of tough texture tumors. Signal intensity of different texture Pituitary adenomas had significant difference on T2WI and ADC map (P < 0.05). The signal intensity ratio of tumor and pons on T2WI had high consistency with tumor texture. Mean collagen contents of soft, medium and tough texture group were 1.51% ± 0.91%, 7.35% ± 2.99% and 18.10% ± 8.24%, respectively. There were significant differences in collagen content of different texture tumors (P < 0.01). The signal intensity of T2WI and ADC images have prediction value for pituitary adenomas texture and T2WI is more reliable.
