Treatment of Clival Giant Cell Tumor: A Case Report and Literature Review.
Article in Brain tumor research and treatment, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 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
Giant cell tumors (GCTs) are locally aggressive primary bone tumors of osteoclast-like cells. Most GCTs occur within the long bones, and primary GCTs involving the clivus are extremely rare. We present the case of an 18-year-old boy with binocular horizontal diplopia with an insidious onset who was found to have a hypointense enhancing mass involving the clivus and left side dorsum sellae on magnetic resonance images. The tumor was completely resected via an endoscopic endonasal transclival approach, and histopathologic examination via immunohistochemistry indicated a GCT. The patient's left abducens nerve palsy improved slightly after surgery. Because of the rarity of GCTs, there is no consensus about the definitive treatment protocol. However, we suggest that gross total resection is the treatment of choice, and denosumab plays a critical role in patients with subtotal resection.
