Craniopharyngeal canal, morning glory disc anomaly and hypopituitarism: what do they have in common?
Article in Oxford medical case reports, 2018. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 8 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
A 14-year-old girl with a history of mid-line defects, basal encephalocele and morning glory disc anomaly presented with untreated growth hormone deficiency, pubertal delay and hypothyroidism. She was found to have a large craniopharyngeal canal based on MRI scan. Craniopharyngeal canal is an uncommon condition that has not been well described in the pediatric population. Consideration of craniopharyngeal canal in the differential diagnosis for basal encephaloceles and understanding its presentation can impact medical decision making and follow-up for patients.
