An atypical visual presentation in a setting of a critically thinned optic nerve compressed between a Rathke's cleft cyst and anterior cerebral artery: illustrative case.

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
backgroundA superior temporal visual field defect is the first sign of a chiasmal disorder by a suprasellar mass lesion. Some lesions may present with atypical visual deficits. OBSERVATIONS: The authors present the case of a 71-year-old woman who presented with inferior temporal hemianopia of the left eye in the setting of a Rathke's cleft cyst (RCC). During transsphenoidal surgery, they found the optic nerve was compressed by the anterior cerebral artery (ACA) and appeared translucent. Preoperative MRI revealed that the left optic nerve was compressed between the ACA and RCC, corresponding to surgical findings. Postoperative imaging showed optic nerve thinning and notching on its surface. LESSONS: In patients with visual field impairment by sellar mass lesion, attention should be paid not only to upward compression by the mass lesion but also to downward compression by the ACA. https://thejns.org/doi/10.3171/CASE25334.
