A novel endoscopic classification for craniopharyngioma based on its origin.
Article in Scientific reports, 2018. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 25 papers, 1 of them a synthesis 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
Endoscopic endonasal approach for craniopharyngioma (CP) resection provides a wide view and direct observation of hypothalamus and origin of tumor. Under endoscopy, 92 CPs were classified into 2 types: Peripheral and Central, according to its relation to pituitary stalk. Peripheral type was further divided into 3 subtypes: Hypothalamic stalk, Suprasellar stalk and Intrasellar stalk CP, according to the different origin site along hypothalamus-pituitary axis. Peripheral type arisen from the stalk but expanded and grown laterally in an exophytic pattern, accounting for 71.7% of all CPs, preservation rate of stalk was higher (76.0%). Central type grew within and along pituitary stalk and located strictly in the midline. The pituitary stalk was hardly preserved (only15.4%). Hypothalamic stalk CPs (n = 36, 54.6%) developed from the junction of hypothalamus and stalk, hypothalamus damage was found in all of this subtype after surgery. Suprasellar stalk CPs (n = 14, 21.2%) originated from the lower portion of stalk and displaced hypothalamus upward rather than infiltrated it. Intrasellar stalk CPs (n = 16, 24.2%) arose from the subdiaphragma portion of the stalk, with less hypothalamus damage. Recoginzing the origin of CP is helpful to understand its growth pattern and relation to hypothalamus, which is critical in planning the most appropriate surgical approach and degree of excision.
