Long term neuropsychological evaluation of adult patients with craniopharyngiomas.
Article in Pituitary, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
introductionCraniopharyngiomas are benign tumors that develop in the hypothalamic-pituitary region. Their treatment mainly involves surgery, sometimes combined with radiotherapy. The hypothalamus plays an essential role in hormonal balance and energy regulation, but also in cognition through connectivity circuits. The cognitive impact of craniopharyngioma treatment is poorly understood and has mainly been studied in children. PATIENTS AND
methodsWe report the neuropsychological assessments of 22 adult patients treated for craniopharyngioma with a follow-up of at least 5 years, 16 of whom were diagnosed while being adults. All assessments were performed by a neuropsychologist using validated tests. More than 65% of patients, including those diagnosed in adulthood, showed at least one impairment in executive functioning, especially cognitive inhibition or deficit in organization. 75% of patients reported fatigue. For half of these patients, these impairments needed specific treatment like cognitive rehabilitation.
conclusionNeuropsychological evaluation has to be part of the follow-up of patients treated for a craniopharyngioma including those diagnosed during adulthood.
