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

Craniopharyngiomas are histologically benign central nervous system tumors derived from embryonic epithelial cells of Rathke's pouch. The disease demonstrates a bimodal age distribution, occurring most often in patients 5-14 and 50-74 years of age. Common comorbidities include hypopituitarism, hypothalamic obesity, sleep apnea, visual impairment and neurocognitive disturbances. There are several key differences in the presentation, tumor characteristics and clinical outcomes between age groups. Childhood craniopharyngiomas are mostly adamantinomatous and often present as larger tumors with worse functional outcomes such as rates of obesity and neurological deficits. Adults experience similar but slightly adjusted rates of comorbidity with both the adamantinomatous and papillary subtypes. This review presents a case-based discussion of adult craniopharyngiomas, focusing on recent literature regarding their presentation, pathology and pathogenesis, diagnosis, treatment and long-term sequelae.
