A Rare Pituitary Tumor.
Article in Cureus, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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-suprasellar masses, with diverse origins ranging from infiltrative to neoplastic processes, are frequently encountered in endocrinology clinics. Evaluation involves a detailed history, hormone analysis, and imaging of the hypothalamic-pituitary axis. However, overlapping hormonal and imaging features can complicate diagnosis, often necessitating confirmation through tissue biopsy. Pituicytoma, a rare sellar tumor mimicking other masses biochemically and radiologically, exemplifies this challenge. These are benign intracranial neoplasms with characteristic bipolar spindle-shaped astrocytic cells organized in fascicular or storiform patterns with specific immunohistochemistry. The current case is of an elderly postmenopausal woman with a history of hypertension who presented with recurrent headaches and transient vision loss in the left eye. Imaging studies revealed a suprasellar mass, which was biopsied and diagnosed on histopathological examination as a pituicytoma. This case highlights the importance of considering less common etiologies when encountering such presentations.
