Neurocytoma mimicking macroadenoma.
Article in Surgical neurology international, 2019. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 6 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
backgroundIntraventricular and extraventricular central neurocytomas (CN) are equally frequent among 20-40-year-old men and women. However, sellar and suprasellar extraventricular CN are extremely rare, with only 12 reported cases. CASE DESCRIPTION: The authors report the case of a Brazilian 27-year-old man who presented with progressive vision loss during the last 4 years and serious bilateral keratoconus. We also review the epidemiological, clinical, radiological, pathological, and treatment features of the 12 reported cases. The patient developed left amaurosis and right temporal hemianopsia after undergoing bilateral corneal transplantation, which was detected during campimetry testing, and subsequently underwent magnetic resonance imaging, which revealed a huge hypophyseal tumor. Endocrinological evaluation revealed complete loss of pituitary function. The patient was referred to our department and underwent a two-step surgery (using transsphenoidal approach and cranio-orbital zygomatic approach) based on the diagnosis of an extraventricular central nervous system neurocytoma. Tumor removal was successful, and the patient was discharged at 3 weeks after admission to our department.
conclusionAlthough extraventricular neurocytomas of the brain are rare, careful preoperative consideration of its anatomy, pathophysiological features, and radiological features can enhance the treatment outcomes.
