Imaging of pituitary tumors: an update with the 5th WHO Classifications-part 1. Pituitary neuroendocrine tumor (PitNET)/pituitary adenoma.
Review in Japanese journal of radiology, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. An erratum has been issued. Cited by 45 papers, 2 of them syntheses that pooled 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.
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
The pituitary gland is the body's master gland of the endocrine glands. Although it is a small organ, many types of tumors can develop within it. The recently revised fifth edition of the World Health Organization (WHO) classifications (2021 World Health Organization Classification of Central Nervous System Tumors and 2022 World Health Organization Classification of Endocrine and Neuroendocrine Tumors) revealed significant changes to the classification of pituitary adenomas, the most common type of pituitary gland tumor. This change categorized pituitary adenomas as neuroendocrine tumors and proposed the name to be revised to pituitary neuroendocrine tumor (PitNET). The International Classification of Diseases for Oncology behavior code for this tumor was previously "0" for benign tumor. In contrast, the fifth edition WHO classification has changed this code to "3" for primary malignant tumors as same to neuroendocrine tumor in other organs. Because the WHO classification made an important and significant change in the fundamental concept of the disease, in this paper, we will discuss the imaging diagnosis (magnetic resonance imaging, computed tomography, and positron emission tomography) of PitNET/pituitary adenoma in detail, considering these revisions as per the latest version of the WHO classification.
