Collision tumors composed of meningioma and growth hormone-secreting pituitary adenoma in the sellar region: Case reports and a literature review.
Review in Medicine, 2017. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 17 papers, 2 of them syntheses that pooled it.
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
rationaleCollision tumor is a rare disease that represents the coexistence of two histologically distinct neoplasms in the same area without histological admixture or an intermediate cell population zone. To our best knowledge, 13 cases besides our 2 cases have been reported till now, and our report represents the first publication regarding a collision tumor composed of growth hormone (GH)-secreting pituitary adenoma and sellar meningioma. PATIENT CONCERNS: We collected two cases of collision tumors composed of meningioma and GH-secreting adenoma in the sellar region from 2014 to 2015 at Peking Union Medical College Hospital (PUMCH). DIAGNOSIS: Two cases were diagnosed with solid sellar tumors, and two tumor types were suspected with magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). Blood hormone tests revealed increased insulin-like growth factor 1 (IGF-1) and GH levels.
interventionsBoth cases underwent transsphenoidal microsurgical resection of pituitary adenoma. OUTCOMES: The tumor was completely resected, and the pathological examination after the operation revealed meningioma and GH-secreting pituitary adenoma. LESSONS: Collision tumors consisting of pituitary adenomas with other sellar neoplasms are rare. Histological examination is necessary because preoperative studies cannot guarantee an accurate diagnosis. If a collision tumor is suspected prior to operation, a craniotomy may need to be considered before other operation methods to avoid reoperation.
