A Rare Case of Pituicytoma Presenting Cystic Formation.

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
Pituicytoma is a rare solid benign tumor of the sellar and/or suprasellar region originating from the pituicytes of the neurohypophysis or infundibulum, which is not differentiated from a pituitary adenoma that is diagnosed mostly in the sellar and/or suprasellar region. In addition, cystic tumors are very rare and have not been reported due to their solid and hypervascular natures. A 33-year-old man presented with a chronic headache which exacerbated recently. MRI was performed and revealed a cystic tumor in the sellar and suprasellar regions with a small parenchymal island in the cyst compressing the optic chiasm. The endoscopic endonasal transsphenoidal approach was used to remove the tumor. Immunohistochemical staining was positive for thyroid transcription factor 1, S-100 protein, and glial fibrillary acidic protein. The pituicytoma was diagnosed based on histologic findings. The authors review herein the literature on clinical presentation, diagnosis, surgical management, and outcome.
