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

Intracranial germinomas are exquisitely radiosensitive, and a tissue diagnosis obtained by minimal biopsy followed by radiotherapy (with or without chemotherapy) provides excellent long-term control; aggressive resection adds morbidity without oncological benefit. We report a 20-year-old man whose sellar and suprasellar mass was preoperatively interpreted as a pituitary adenoma and was treated by aggressive endoscopic endonasal transsphenoidal resection after an intraoperative frozen section suggested adenoma; final histology demonstrated germinoma. The postoperative course was complicated by a persistent skull-base cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) leak, methicillin-resistant
