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

Collision tumors in the sellar region are uncommon, most frequently composed of pituitary adenomas and Rathke's cleft cysts. However, the coexistence of a craniopharyngioma and a pituitary adenoma represents an exceedingly rare entity. Here, we report a unique case of a 60-year-old woman presenting with progressive bilateral visual decline. Neuroimaging identified distinct sellar and suprasellar masses. The patient underwent endoscopic endonasal surgery with gross total resection (GTR). Postoperative histopathological analysis confirmed a collision tumor consisting of a papillary craniopharyngioma and a thyrotropin (TSH)-secreting pituitary adenoma. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first documented case of coexisting papillary craniopharyngioma and TSH-secreting pituitary adenoma in the sellar region.
