Pituitary Apoplexy as a Complication of COVID-19 Infection.
Article in Cureus, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 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
Pituitary apoplexy (PA) is a complication occurring due to hemorrhage and/or infarction in a pituitary adenoma due to various pathophysiological mechanisms. Herein, we report a case of a 47-year-old previously healthy male who presented with fever and reduced level of consciousness for one day. During the hospital stay, he was diagnosed with PA in a background of pituitary macroadenoma along with positive nasopharyngeal swabs for SARS-CoV-2 infection. Even though the PA was successfully managed, the patient succumbed four days after admission due to respiratory failure caused by severe COVID-19 pneumonia.
