1 · What the graph read from it

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.

2 · The registry

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

Craniopharyngiomas represent a rare group of intracranial tumors that often arise in the sellar/suprasellar region of the brain. Adamantinomatous craniopharyngioma is significantly more common than papillary craniopharyngioma. The former most often arises in children whereas the papillary craniopharyngioma is mainly limited to adults. We present the case of a 34-year-old female with visual disturbances and other vague complaints who was found to have a large lobulated sellar mass on neuroimaging studies. She was subsequently diagnosed with an adamantinomatous craniopharyngioma after undergoing transsphenoidal resection. We discuss the patient's clinical, radiological, and pathological findings in correlation with the current literature and recommendations regarding this type of tumor. Given that adamantinomatous craniopharyngioma rarely presents in adulthood, especially in middle-aged adults, this case is considered rare, and we hope to increase awareness to include adamantinomatous craniopharyngioma in the differential diagnosis for sellar lesions in this age group.
