A Rare Occurrence of Craniopharyngioma Causing Visual Disturbance in Pregnancy.
Article in Cureus, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 4 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
Craniopharyngioma is a rare and benign sellar and suprasellar region tumour. It rarely manifests during pregnancy. We report a 32-year-old primigravida at 19 weeks of gestation with a craniopharyngioma, presenting with visual disturbances during pregnancy. Her vision was 6/9 OD and counting fingers OS with a relative afferent pupillary defect in the left eye. Fundi were normal bilaterally. Visual field testing showed a nasal field defect OD and generalized depression OS. Brain magnetic resonance imaging revealed a suprasellar tumour with chiasmatic compression. Craniotomy and excision of the tumour were done at 20 weeks of gestation. Histopathological examination was consistent with craniopharyngioma. Postoperatively, mother and foetus were stable. Vision improved from counting fingers to 6/6 OS and remained at 6/9 OD. Subsequently, she delivered a healthy baby at term. Such rare and difficult cases warrant close multidisciplinary cooperation pre- and post-operatively to attain optimal outcomes for both mother and baby. By optimizing the patient's medical condition, risks of complications may be reduced. A poor pre-operative vision should also not deter surgical intervention as a proven good visual outcome is achievable.
