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: The coexistence of pituitary neuroendocrine tumor (PitNETs) and paraclinoid aneurysms is uncommon but clinically significant due to the risk of intraoperative rupture during transsphenoidal surgery. Hybrid operating rooms and advances in endoscopic endonasal techniques now permit the simultaneous treatment of both lesions in selected patients. Case Description: We present the case of a 61-year-old female who presented with progressive acral enlargement and intermittent headache. Neurological examination was unremarkable. Neuroendocrinological evaluation revealed elevated age-adjusted serum insulin-like growth factor 1 and growth hormone (GH) levels with preserved anterior pituitary function. Contrast-enhanced magnetic resonance imaging demonstrated a sellar mass consistent with a PitNET; within the lesion, a focal flow void suggested a vascular structure. Computed tomography angiography confirmed a left superior hypophyseal artery aneurysm projecting ventromedially into the sellar region. Given the risk of aneurysm rupture during tumor resection, we elected to perform simultaneous treatment of both lesions though an endoscopic endonasal approach in a hybrid operating room. The procedure included proximal balloon occlusion of the cavernous segment of the internal carotid artery, roadmapping-assisted clipping under direct endoscopic visualization, and intraoperative angiographic confirmation of aneurysm obliteration. Following aneurysm exclusion, gross total resection of the GH-secreting PitNET was achieved. The patient experienced an uneventful postoperative recovery. At 3-month follow-up, she demonstrated biochemical remission of acromegaly. Imaging confirmed complete aneurysm occlusion and total tumor resection. Conclusion: This case highlights the feasibility of simultaneous endoscopic endonasal aneurysm clipping and tumor resection in a hybrid operating room, avoiding staged procedures and minimizing morbidity. Close collaboration between surgical and endovascular teams is essential to optimize outcomes.
