Persistent craniopharyngeal canal, bilateral microphthalmia with colobomatous cysts, ectopic adenohypophysis with Rathke cleft cyst, and ectopic neurohypophysis: case report and review of the literature.
Review in Child's nervous system : ChNS : official journal of the International Society for Pediatric Neurosurgery, 2018. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 7 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
introductionPersistent craniopharyngeal canal (PCC) is a rare anomaly of the base of the skull. PCC is defined as a well-corticated osseous canal, extending from the roof of the nasopharynx to the base of the sella over the course of the sphenoid corpus. We reported a PCC case with unique associations. The magnetic resonance imaging findings are discussed. CASE PRESENTATION: We report a case of a 2-year-old boy with persistent craniopharyngeal canal, bilateral microphtalmia with large colobomatous cyst, and ectopic adenohypophysis with Rathke cleft cyst. He also has ectopic neurohypophysis and optic atrophy.
conclusionThe presence of orbital and optic tract malformations, craniofacial and intracranial anomalies, and tumors can accompany craniopharyngeal canals (CCs). MRI is helpful in the evaluation of PCC and associated anomalies in these patients.
