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

Xanthogranuloma (XG) of the sellar region is a non-neoplastic inflammatory lesion characterized histologically by recent and remote hemorrhage, necrotic debris, fibrosis, chronic inflammation, and cholesterol clefts with associated foreign-body giant cells. The inflammatory lesion was recognized by the World Health Organization in 2000. XG of the sellar region is rare. Cases of pituitary adenoma (PA) with an associated XG (PA/XG) are extremely rare, with a total of 16 cases in the literature. PA/XG lacks specific clinical and radiologic signs, making pre-operative diagnosis challenging. Herein, we report a case of PA/XG, describe the radiologic and pathologic findings, and discuss the role of so-called silent or "subclinical pituitary apoplexy" in the possible histogenesis of PA/XGs.
