Pituitary macroadenoma: less common neuroimaging features in a common lesion.
Article in Radiologia brasileira. 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
Pituitary neuroendocrine tumors, previously known as pituitary adenomas, are the most common pituitary gland tumors; when larger than 10 mm in diameter, they are called pituitary macroadenomas. Although most pituitary macroadenomas exhibit characteristic imaging features, some present with uncommon neuroimaging manifestations. Less common imaging manifestations include hemorrhage, areas of necrosis, cystic components, calcifications, bone invasion, and extrasellar location. Knowing how to recognize the atypical neuroimaging patterns of pituitary macroadenomas is also crucial for identifying the potential aggressive behavior of the lesion. In addition to predicting aggressive behavior, recognition of atypical neuroimaging characteristics can help the neurosurgeon determine the most effective surgical approach. The aim of this review was to highlight the less common imaging patterns of pituitary macroadenomas.
