Headaches in Patients with Pituitary Tumors: a Clinical Conundrum.
Review in Current pain and headache reports, 2018. 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
purpose of reviewPituitary tumors account for approximately 17% of all intracranial neoplasms, with the majority being pituitary adenomas. Often, these are found incidentally during a workup for headache; however, the relationship between symptom and pathology remains unclear. The purpose of this article is to review the most recent literature on the epidemiology, pathophysiology, and management of headaches in patients with pituitary tumors. RECENT
findingsThe current literature is limited, with few prospective trials focusing on this question. With the exception of pituitary apoplexy, the relationship between headaches and pituitary masses remains unclear. Intervention does not always improve headache and can lead to development of new headache syndromes. Further research is needed to better elucidate the relationship between pituitary tumors and headaches. Headache alone is rarely an indication for surgical management of a pituitary adenoma.
