A Coexisting Pilocytic Astrocytoma and a Prolactinoma: A Case Report of Collision Tumors and Literature Review.

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
Pituitary adenomas and gliomas constitute two of the most common primary intracranial tumors. However, their coexistence as collision tumors is relatively rare and few similar reports could be identified in the literature. In this study, we report a case of a 64-year-old male patient with a prolactinoma and a pilocytic astrocytoma in collision. The patient underwent both an endoscopic transsphenoidal approach and a subfrontal craniotomy, achieving a gross total resection of the concomitant lesions in the sellar and suprasellar regions. Postoperatively, the patient's preoperative bitemporal hemianopsia resolved and no new deficits occurred. At his six-month follow-up, he remained free of neurologic deficits. Although causative factors are yet to be determined for these tumors in collision, their nonsyndromic coexistence could point to a common genetic linkage which will help to shed light on their natural history of occurrence.
