Update on pituitary adenomas in the 2017 World Health Organization classification: innovations and perspectives.
Review in Hormones (Athens, Greece), 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 6 papers.
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
The World Health Organization (WHO) classifications of tumors offer invaluable support in the diagnosis of tumors, with every new edition including novel information and diagnostic updates. The new 2017 WHO Classification of Tumors of Endocrine Organs, 4th edition, includes innovations in both terminology and diagnostic guidelines for pituitary adenomas, along with new entities, molecular information, and novel treatment modalities. The recommended reporting system of pituitary adenomas is based on morphology and assessment of the hormonal content by immunohistochemistry. Electron microscopy and immunohistochemistry for Ki-67 and p53 and transcription factors, while presenting additional information, are not recommended for routine diagnosis. Other markers may also yield information of prognostic and predictive significance. In sum, the 2017 WHO classification provides pathologists and clinicians with new and comprehensive information of great use for the diagnosis and treatment of pituitary tumors.
