Diabetes Insipidus due to Metastases of Undiagnosed Lung Cancer: A Case Report from Syria.
Article in Case reports in endocrinology, 2023. 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
Pituitary metastases (PM) are extremely uncommon, accounting for less than 1% of all intracranial metastases. PM of an undiagnosed malignancy can commonly present with symptoms of hormonal deficiencies, central diabetes insipidus, and/or visual symptoms. Lung and breast malignancies are the most common cancers associated with PM. Despite advances in diagnostic and therapeutic options, the prognosis remains poor and is influenced by primary malignancy and treatment methods. We report a case of a patient with PM from lung cancer who had polyuria, polydipsia, and nonspecific symptoms. A full evaluation confirmed central diabetes insipidus, hypogonadism, and metastatic lung cancer. We also discuss the current literature on PM diagnosis and management, emphasizing the need for a comprehensive evaluation of all available data. This is the first case of PM reported from Syria, to our knowledge.
