FOLLICLE-STIMULATING HORMONE-PRODUCING PITUITARY ADENOMA: A CASE REPORT AND REVIEW OF THE LITERATURE.
Article in AACE clinical case reports. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 7 papers.
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
objectiveTo describe an unusual presentation of a follicle-stimulating hormone-secreting pituitary adenoma leading to ovarian hyperstimulation syndrome. We also discuss the pathophysiology and subsequent management of these tumors.
methodsThis is a case report and review of the literature. A 37-year-old female with menorrhagia was found to have bilateral multilocular adnexal cysts with concern for ovarian hyperstimulation syndrome.
resultsLabs revealed elevated follicle-stimulating hormone, and an eminent estradiol level. Pituitary magnetic resonance imaging revealed a macroadenoma with cavernous sinus invasion. The patient went on to have a successful transsphenoidal resection with normalization of hormones and subsequent resumption of menstrual cycles.
conclusionWith the help of this case report, we illustrate the pathogenesis of functioning gonadotroph adenomas as well as the management challenges associated with these tumors. Our case is unique in its presentation with severe hyperestrogenemia and cavernous sinus invasion pointing towards a clinically aggressive adenoma. It is important to increase awareness of these tumors to ensure timely and effective management of their complications.
