Prognostic Factors for Invasiveness and Recurrence of Pituitary Adenomas: A Series of 94 Patients.
Article in Diagnostics (Basel, Switzerland), 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
(1) Background: The aim of the current study is to evaluate the immunohistochemical expression of Ki-67, CD-56, Cyclin-D1 and E-Cadherin in the tissues samples of pituitary adenomas (PAs) and its association with PAs clinical manifestation tumor size, invasiveness and the risk of recurrence. (2) Materials and Methods: Ninety-four patients who underwent endoscope transsphenoidal excision of PAs were included in our study. The immunohistochemical expression of the Cyclin-D1, CD-56, E-Cadherin and Ki-67 markers was analyzed in paraffin-embedded tissue samples. (3) Results: The expression of Cyclin-D1 and Ki-67 index levels was positively correlated with the size (p < 0.001, r = 0.56 and p < 0.001, r = 0.43, respectively), the recurrence (p < 0.001, r = 0.46 and p = 0.007 r = 0.3, respectively), the extrasellar extension (p < 0.001, r = 0.48 and p < 0.001, r = 0.4, respectively) and the cavernous sinus invasion of (p < 0.001, r = 0.39 and p < 0.001, r = 0.3, respectively). No correlation was found between CD-56 and E-Cadherin expression with the size, the invasiveness and the recurrence of PAs. (4) Conclusion: Cyclin-D1 and Ki-67 are promising immunohistochemical markers in predicting the invasive behavior and recurrence of PAs in contrast to E-Cadherin and CD-56 which did not seem to be associated with PAs behavior post-surgery. However, larger studies are required in order to establish their role in the routine evaluation of PAs.
