Non-functional Pituitary Adenomas: Analysis of Delayed Diagnosis in Mexico.
Article in Cureus, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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
backgroundAlthough tumors of the central nervous system (CNS) are rare, they can cause significant morbidity and mortality. The clinical presentation of patients with non-functional pituitary adenomas (NFPA) ranges from being completely asymptomatic to causing pituitary, hypothalamic, or visual dysfunction due to their large size. Patients usually arrive with large tumors at the time of diagnosis. Objectives: Try to describe the characteristics of NFPA and explain the causes of delayed diagnosis. Methods: We carried out a retrospective study including 58 patients with NFPA and analyzed the tumor volume at the time of diagnosis and its relationship with sociodemographic and health sector variables. Results: Low socioeconomic status (SES) was associated with high tumor volume (SES 1-2 of 17.4 cm
conclusionsOn the one hand, citizens should be made aware that a visual deficit should make them go to a medical check-up, and on the other hand, strengthen the health system so that they have the NFPA as a differential diagnosis in patients with some visual alteration. Socioeconomic inequality in our country undoubtedly puts the underprivileged at greater risk.
