Single-fraction stereotactic radiosurgery for spindle cell oncocytoma: preliminary experience and systematic review of the literature.
Synthesis in Journal of neuro-oncology, 2019. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 7 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
purposeSpindle cell oncocytoma (SCO) is a rare benign pituitary tumor. No patient series regarding stereotactic radiosurgery (SRS) for SCO has been published. We report the clinical outcomes of SCO treated with single-fraction SRS, as well as a systematic review of the literature.
methodsRetrospective cohort series and systematic literature review.
resultsFive patients (four male, one female) having single-fraction SRS for persistent or recurrent SCO between 2002 and 2018. Median age was 56 (range 54-79) years. Pre-SRS treatments included transsphenoidal resection (TSR) (n = 3), multiple TSR (n = 1), and TSR, radiotherapy, and craniotomy (n = 1). Median target volume was 4.7 (range 1.8-8.4) cm
conclusionsSCO are uncommon sellar lesions with a propensity for progression or recurrence. Based on the clinically aggressive course of these tumors, adjuvant SRS after STR or at the time of tumor recurrence should be considered. Further case accumulation and follow-up is required to better understand the long-term treatment outcomes after single-fraction SRS for these rare tumors.
