MRI Imaging of Double Pituitary Microadenoma: A Rare Preoperative Diagnosis.
Article in Cureus, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 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
Pituitary adenomas are benign, single, monoclonal slow-growing neoplasms usually related to chemical overproduction. A pituitary adenoma is the third most common intracranial tumor, with the first two being glioma and meningioma. Double pituitary adenoma is an infrequently occurring case and is characterized as occurrence of two adenomas in the single pituitary gland, both having typical immunohistochemical and histopathological highlights. In most of the cases, pituitary adenomas occurring as double adenomas are associated with Cushing's disease. It is further categorized into contiguous and clearly distinct types. Clearly distinct tumors are recognized on neuroradiological imaging. We present imaging findings of a rare case of a double pituitary microadenoma. Early diagnosis of such a rare condition is important and prevents further consequences.
