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

Pituicytoma is a rare tumor that has been recently recognized and described, where only few reported cases of pituicytoma associated with Cushing's disease. We describe a case of a 47 years old female with a history of high cortisol levels and a diagnosis of Cushing's disease was made. Brain magnetic resonance imaging showed lesion in pituitary gland compatible with microadenoma and tumor resection was carried out. The histopathological findings were of a pituicytoma with positive thyroid transcription factor-1 immunostain.
