Anatomical variations of foramen of the diaphragma sellae and neighboring structures: a cadaveric study.
Article in Anatomical science international, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 10 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
The aim of our study was to examine the variations and types of foramen of diaphragma sellae (FDS) and their relationship with nearby surgical landmarks on cadavers.Twenty adult (9 male, 11 female) formalin-fixed cadaveric heads were bilaterally used to analyze the anatomical relationships around the supradiaphragmatic region of sella turcica. Lengths and distances of nearby surgical landmarks were measured by a digital microcaliper. SPSS version 25 was used to analyze the comparison between genders and body sides. Dorsum sellae distances to tuberculum sellae and the optic chiasm(OC) were higher in males than females (p < 0.05). Type 8 infundibulum passage was the most common variation with 50%. There was no finding related to types 1-4 of infundibulum passage. Thus, the present study has indicated that the infundibulum passes mostly from the posterior half of the foramen. The shape of the foramen was irregular in 45%, circular in 20%, sagittally oval in 20%, and horizontally oval in 15% of the cases. The OC was noted normal in 60%, prefixed in 35%, and postfixed in 5% of the cases. Comprehensive anatomical knowledge about the types of the FDS and their neighboring structures is crucial for preoperative planning of sellar region diseases in terms of navigating the region when accessing the foramen. Discrimination of variations of FDS, OC, and pituitary stalk, their relationships, and differences between genders is useful to minimize potential surgical complications.
