1 · What the graph read from 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.

2 · The registry

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 gangliocytoma in the sellar region is extremely rare. We report a rare case of mixed gangliocytoma and growth hormone (GH)-secreting adenoma in a 50-year-old woman, who presented with acromegaly. Laboratory investigations revealed high levels of GH and insulinlike growth factor 1 (IGF-1). Sellar computed tomography scan and contrast enhanced magnetic resonance imaging (CE-MRI) showed a sellar mass. Based on clinical, biochemical, and radiologic evaluations, GH-secreting adenoma was diagnosed and operated by endonasal transsphenoidal approach achieving total removal of the tumor. After surgery, histopathological examination demonstrated mixed gangliocytoma and GH-secreting adenoma in the resected lesion. The clinical, radiological, and operative data are reviewed, as are the histological findings. To our knowledge, few cases of mixed gangliocytoma and GH-secreting adenoma have been reported.
