Giant sellar metastasis from renal cell carcinoma: A case report and literature review.
Review in Medicine, 2018. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 4 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
rationaleSellar metastasis is a rare and complex disease whose clinical features are strongly associated with the primary malignancy. Here, we present a rare case of giant sellar metastasis spread from renal cell carcinoma (RCC). PATIENT CONCERNS: A 30-year-old Chinese woman was admitted to our Hospital, reporting headache, nasal congestion, nausea, vomiting, and a sharp decline in her right eye vision. DIAGNOSES: Brain magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) revealed an invasive sellar mass with cavernous sinus and nasal cavity extension. Additionally, the patient had a medical history of right radical nephrectomy for clear-cell RCC.
interventionsThe patient underwent a successful subtotal resection of the tumor. Final pathological diagnosis confirmed sellar metastasis from RCC. After surgery, the patient was referred to our medical oncology department and received further systemic therapy. OUTCOMES: No light perception remained in her right eye even after prompt surgical decompression. Follow-up MRI showed subtotal resection of the giant sellar metastasis. LESSON: Sellar metastasis, although rare, should be particularly considered for elderly patients with deteriorating visual function and medical histories of cancer.
