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

We present a rare case of a collision tumor involving a pituitary macroadenoma and adamantinomatous craniopharyngioma in a 49-year-old woman. The patient presented with a 2-year history of amenorrhea and elevated prolactin. Brain MRI revealed two sellar masses. Initially managed with observation due to the absence of neurological deficits, surgical resection was later performed after clinical and radiographic progression. Pathology confirmed both tumor types: pituitary macroadenoma and adamantinomatous craniopharyngioma. Postoperative MRI showed residual disease at the superior margin. The patient subsequently received fractionated stereotactic radiation for residual disease and tolerated well.
