Radiological anatomy of sella turcica in children: a retrospective study with CT.
Article in Surgical and radiologic anatomy : SRA, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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
purposeTo assess the sella turcica (ST) morphology on pediatric computed tomography views.
methodsRadiologic images of 113 children (47 females / 66 males, mean age: 9.24 ± 6.07 years) were included in the study. The diameter (STD), width (STW), length (STL), anterior height (STA), middle height (STM), and posterior height (STP) of ST were measured. ST shape was noted.
resultsSTL, STD, STA, STM, STP and STW were measured as 6.81 ± 1.57 mm, 8.52 ± 2.05 mm, 5.30 ± 1.57 mm, 6.06 ± 1.49 mm, 5.71 ± 1.64 mm, and 6.38 ± 1.91 mm, respectively. STL (p = 0.012) and STD (p < 0.001) did not show significant change after the late childhood period, while STA, STM, STP and STW did not display significant change after the early childhood period (p < 0.001). According to Axelsson classification, ST shape was identified as Type 1 (normal ST) in 34 cases (30.10%), Type 2 (oblique anterior wall) in 17 cases (15%), Type 3 (double contour of the floor) in four cases (3.60%), Type 4 (irregularity) in eight cases (7.10%), and Type 5 (pyramidal shape of the dorsum sellae) in 50 cases (44.20%). According to Camp classification, ST shape was identified as oval in 39 cases (34.50%), round in 62 cases (54.90%), and flattened in 12 cases (10.60%). Dispersion ratios of ST shape types in in the first and second decades showed that Axelsson (p < 0.001) and Camp (p = 0.043) classifications correlated with age.
conclusionST size does not show significant change after the late childhood period. Its shape correlates with age, but not gender.
