A recurrent case of pituicytoma 16 years later.

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
backgroundPituicytoma is a rare; slow-growing primary tumour originating from the glial cells of the neurohypophysis. It was classed as a low-grade (grade I) central nervous system tumour by the World Health Organization in 2007. We present the case of a 71-year-old man with a previous history of sellar meningioma who underwent surgical resection of pituicytoma by transphenoidal hypophysectomy.
methodWe conducted a literature search using Medline EMBASE and the Cochrane Database of Systematic Reviews using the Ovid search engines. Key words searched were 'pituitary gland', 'pituicytoma', 'neurohypophysis'. Patient records and imaging were obtained from the Royal Stoke University Hospital database.
resultsA 71-year-old man with a background of sellar meningioma 16 years previously was found to have a pituitary fossa tumour on surveillance magnetic resonance imaging. Differential diagnosis was pituitary adenoma. Endoscopic transphenoidal hypophysectomy was performed. Histology was consistent with pituicytoma. As a result of this histology from his initial tumour was re-examined and was amended to pituicytoma, indicating a recurrence.
conclusionPituicytoma is a benign, slow growing lesion of the posterior pituitary. Brat
