Management of a Growth Hormone-Secreting Pituitary Macroadenoma Associated With Idiopathic Intracranial Hypertension and an Empty Sella.
Article in Cureus, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 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
Idiopathic intracranial hypertension (IIH) is a -condition associated with elevated intracranial pressure (ICP) and frequently presents with headaches, papilledema, and visual loss. Rarely, IIH has been reported in association with acromegaly. Although removal of the tumor may reverse this process, elevated ICP, especially in the setting of an otherwise empty sella, may result in a cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) leak that is exceedingly difficult to manage. We present the first case of a patient with a functional pituitary adenoma causing acromegaly associated with IIH and an otherwise empty sella and discuss our management paradigm for this rare condition.
