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

A pituitary adenoma in the suprasellar region without involvement of the Sella turcica is uncommon, with few examples recorded in the literature. Imaging, particularly magnetic resonance imaging, is critical for diagnosis. Radiological features aid in distinguishing ectopic pituitary adenoma from other possible diagnoses, which include Rathke cleft cyst, suprasellar abscess, diabetes insipidus, suprasellar cellular infiltrate, and suprasellar tumors such as germinoma, craniopharyngioma, optic pathway glioma, suprasellar hemangioblastoma, and pituitary lymphoma. A 48-year-old lady with impaired visual acuity underwent an MRI, which revealed a suprasellar ectopic pituitary adenoma in contact with the pituitary stalk and optic chiasm.
