Primary Sellar Neuroblastoma in an Elderly Patient: Case Report.

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
A 71-year-old male presented with an isolated well-enhanced sellar lesion accompanied by hypopituitarism, diagnosed preoperatively as a pituitary adenoma, meningioma, or metastatic brain tumor. However, histological examinations yielded a diagnosis of neuroblastoma. Primary sellar neuroblastoma in the elderly is very rare. We therefore describe this case of primary sellar neuroblastoma, mimicking common pituitary tumor, and review the literature. There have so far been only nine reported cases of primary sellar neuroblastoma in the English literature. All reports like the present case, demonstrated similar neuroimaging of a "dumbbell-shaped extension in the sellar region." Moreover, the tumors may exhibit characteristic features, such as rapid tumor growth, hypopituitarism, or oculomotor nerve palsy, and these findings may represent helpful signs for the diagnosis of primary sellar neuroblastoma.
