Intracranial aneurysm coexisting with pituitary adenoma: a systematic review.
Review in Annals of medicine and surgery (2012), 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 4 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
Introduction: The simultaneous occurrence of intracranial aneurysms (IA) and primary brain tumors (BT) is frequently reported, with an estimated incidence of 0.5-7.4%. Among the tumor types associated with IA, pituitary adenomas (PA) are the most prevalent. Methods: The authors selected articles, published from 1960 to December 2023, on the Medline, Embase, Scopus, Cochrane Library, and Web of Science databases. The extraction form contains information specific to the aneurysm and tumor, rupture of the aneurysm, treatment proposal for both and order of treatment and outcome. Results: The study evaluated 118 patients from 25 articles. The most frequent types of tumors were non-functioning hormone (NFA) producers, present in 45.8% ( Conclusion: Patients with PAs have a considerable prevalence of IAs. Hormonal imbalances and mechanical changes induced by tumor growth, particularly influenced by GH and IGF-1, contribute to this coexistence. Surgical intervention is common, requiring meticulous precautions to avoid complications. More longitudinal studies including close follow-up with a description of outcomes are necessary to guide treatment protocols for this condition.
