Sellar masses: diagnosis and treatment.
Review in Frontiers in ophthalmology, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 5 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled 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.
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
Sellar mases can cause a variety of neuro-ophthalmic manifestations, including compressive optic neuropathy, chiasmal syndrome, and ophthalmoplegia due to cranial nerve palsy. Diagnosis involves a thorough history, neuro-ophthalmic examination, and ancillary tests and investigations. Visual field testing is critical in diagnosing and localizing the lesion and determining the extent of visual field loss. Appropriate neuro-imaging is essential in characterizing and localizing the lesion. Neuro-ophthalmologic assessment include meticulous clinical examination and ancillary tests including,visual field testing, which is useful in localizing the lesion, and optical coherence tomography, which is helpful in assessing the degree of axonal and neuronal loss and predicting the visual outcome. Treatment requires a multidisciplinary approach by different specialties, including radiologists, neuro-ophthalmologists, and neurosurgeons. The two primary treatment modalities for these tumors are surgery and radiation therapy. We review the main types of sellar lesions, their neuro-ophthalmologic evaluation, and treatment options.
