Invasive ACTH-secreting pituitary macroadenoma in remission after transsphenoidal resection: A case report and literature review.
Review in Medicine, 2018. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 8 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled 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.
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
rationaleKnosp grade 4 adrenocorticotropic hormone (ACTH)-secreting pituitary adenoma is a rare cause of Cushing disease. After the 1st surgery, the remission rate among these patients is extremely low. PATIENT CONCERNS: We presented a case of a 33-year-old female with classical Cushingoid symptoms. Further investigations revealed ATCH-dependent hypercortisolemia, as well as a Knosp grade 4 pituitary macroadenoma. DIAGNOSIS: Cushing disease, caused by a Knosp grade 4 pituitary macroadenoma.
interventionsThe patient underwent endoscopic endonasal transsphenoidal surgery with the assistance of intraoperative transsphenoidal Doppler and image-guidance devices. OUTCOMES: Pathologic examinations confirmed that the lesion was an ACTH-secreting pituitary adenoma. The patient was in biochemical remission after surgery. Her postoperative magnetic resonance imaging showed gross-total tumor resection. There was no evidence of recurrence during the 1-year follow-up. LESSONS: With intraoperative Doppler and image-guidance, gross-total resection and biochemical remission can be achieved in Cushing disease when the internal carotid artery is completely encased by the pituitary adenoma.
