Insights into body composition in pediatric craniopharyngioma patients after surgical treatment.
Article in Therapeutic advances in endocrinology and metabolism, 2025. 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
Background: Craniopharyngioma, a benign suprasellar tumor, is typically treated surgically with radiotherapy when indicated. Due to its proximity to the pituitary-hypothalamic region, patients often experience endocrine deficiencies. Objective: To explore the body composition components and their interaction with metabolic syndrome (MetS) components in pediatric craniopharyngioma patients after surgery. Design: Longitudinal single-center real-life study of 33 pediatric patients who were diagnosed with craniopharyngioma for which they underwent surgery between 2012 and 2024. Methods: Electronic medical reports were reviewed for clinical data, and a bioimpedance analysis (BIA) database was searched for body composition. Fifty-four BIA reports of 21 patients with craniopharyngioma were analyzed. The latest reported values were compared to those of 63 sex- and age-matched healthy controls. Changes in anthropometric measurements and indices of muscle and adiposity were assessed by linear mixed models. Results: Patients with craniopharyngioma exhibited higher adiposity compared to controls, with significantly elevated total body fat percentage (FATP; Conclusion: Despite struggling with obesity and hormonal deficiencies, survivors of craniopharyngioma showed favorable changes in body composition with appropriate medical interventions. Strategies to prevent metabolic complications and tailored hormone replacement therapies are essential for managing metabolic decline.
