Pituitary metastasis of lung adenocarcinoma: Case report and literature review.
Article in International journal of surgery case reports, 2020. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 8 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
introductionPituitary metastasis is rare, and it is the least common site of intracranial metastases. It is mostly asymptomatic but can present with diabetes insipidus, headache, ophthalmoplegia, visual disturbance and anterior pituitary dysfunction and in majority of cases patients known to have a primary malignancy. CASE PRESENTATION: This study presents a 54-year-old male presented with a few months history of headache and drooping of both eyelids and after proper investigations and endoscopic resection of the sellar mass the diagnosis was confirmed to be pituitary metastasis of lung adenocarcinoma.
conclusionDiagnosis and management of pituitary metastases are complex and depend on many factors. Endoscopic surgical resection and debulking alleviates symptoms and provides the definitive diagnosis which has great importance in cases with clinical presentation that does not strongly point to pituitary metastasis to avoid unnecessary radiotherapy and chemotherapy when possible.
