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

We present the case of a 27-year-old female who had a history of recurrent headaches and visual disturbances. Magnetic resonance imaging of the brain showed a lesion that suggested pituitary adenoma, with indications of a recent bleeding or cystic degeneration. Nonhormonal deficiencies were documented, restricted to nontumoral hyperprolactinemia. Transsphenoidal approach surgery was performed and the purulent material was drained, confirming the diagnosis of pituitary abscess. Sinusitis was considered to be the only possible cause of this condition. Empirical treatment to Gram-positive anaerobic cocci was administrated, with a satisfactory response.
