Pituitary surgery in Cushing's disease: first line treatment and role of reoperation.
Review in Pituitary, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 5 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
Cushing's disease is the most common cause of endogenous hypercortisolemia, and transsphenoidal surgery remains the first line therapy for removal of the ACTH-secreting adenoma. While post-operative remission rates are high in experienced hands, there remains a 2% risk of recurrence per year. Patients with the highest chance for cure are those with small, non-invasive tumors that are visible on pre-operative MRI and identified during surgery and are performed by high-volume pituitary neurosurgeons. Surgery for persistent or recurrent disease is frequently indicated and is most successful in the hands of experienced surgeons and in cases where tumor is visible on MRI.
