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

To compare 7 T magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) of pituitary macroadenomas (PMA) with standard MRI and intraoperative findings regarding tumor detection, localization, size, and extension. Patients with suspected pituitary adenoma underwent pre-operative 1.5 T or 3 T and 7 T MRI; 14 patients with a PMA were included. A qualitative (lesion detection, location, cavernous sinus infiltration) and quantitative (lesion size, depth of cavernous sinus infiltration) analysis of 1.5 T, 3 T and 7 T MRI was performed and compared with intraoperative findings. Both 1.5/3 T and 7 T MRI enabled the detection of all PMAs; lesion size determination was equal. 7 T MRI enables more precise assessments of cavernous sinus infiltration of PMA (n
