Pituitary microadenoma with hypopituitarism presenting as hyponatremia.
Article in BMJ case reports, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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
The incidence of pituitary adenoma has been increasing these days. Majority of the cases are incidental findings on imaging; and these patients may be asymptomatic without any laboratory abnormalities. However, a non-functional sellar mass can initially present with hypopituitarism. The patient being described is an elderly female who presented with severe hyponatraemia. She has history of recurrent admissions for hyponatraemia in the past. Her biochemical evaluation revealed hypopituitarism and magnetic resonance imaging of brain showed pituitary microadenoma. Hyponatraemia as a presenting feature of hypopituitarism due to pituitary microadenoma is an uncommon scenario.
