Case report: Concurrent malignant triton tumor and relapsed pituitary adenoma in the sellar region.
Article in Frontiers in surgery, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 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
Malignant triton tumor (MTT) is a rare kind of malignant peripheral nerve sheath tumors, histologically characterized by rhabdomyoblastic differentiation. There are limited reports of MTT occurring in the intracranial area. The treatment modality consisting of total surgical resection plus post-operative radiotherapy is generally accepted. However, even with optimal treatment, most patients will die within a few months. We report a 71-year-old man with a history of pituitary adenoma, who underwent surgical treatment and postoperative gamma knife therapy. Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) of the brain revealed a mass with two distinctive components in the sellar area. Postoperative pathology found that the lesion consisted of a MTT and a relapsed pituitary adenoma. The present case is the first report of MTT that occurred in the sellar area. It is also the first case of intracranial MTT with other concurrent tumors (relapsed pituitary tumors). Meanwhile, this case has a clear history of radiation therapy, suggesting that the occurrence of MTT may be related to radiation.
