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

Intrasellar plasmacytoma is a rare pituitary tumor, which originates from monoclonal plasma cells in a single lesion. Knowledge of its features comes from case reports only. Here, we present an interesting case of a 77-year-old woman with a presumptive diagnosis of non-functioning pituitary adenoma, as based on both clinical and radiological examinations. Following endoscopic endonasal transsphenoidal surgery, the definitive diagnosis of intrasellar plasmacytoma was made by immunohistochemical analysis of the sellar mass. Intrasellar plasmacytoma is rare, but it should be evaluated in the differential diagnosis of a pituitary mass due to its different therapeutic approach and prognosis, since it can frequently progress to multiple myeloma.
