Severe recurrent hyponatremia in a 72-year-old patient with undiagnosed partially empty Sella syndrome-a case report.

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
Hyponatremia is one of the most common electrolyte abnormalities encountered in medical practice and is caused by multiple conditions. SIADH is the most common cause of hyponatremia, however, careful workup must be performed on all patients as mere supplementation may cause recurrent hyponatremia and serious side effects. Adrenal insufficiency is a principal culprit that mimics the clinical picture of SIADH and tends to worsen when treated in the line of SIADH. In addition, individuals may have various comorbidities, such as hypothyroidism in our case, which can also cause hyponatremia, making it difficult to determine precise etiology. We present a case of a 72-year-old man with recurrent hyponatremia, who was subsequently diagnosed as partially empty sella syndrome. Given the temporal relationship between the use of corticosteroids and the improvement of his symptoms, low cortisol and ACTH levels, adrenal insufficiency was most likely the cause of the hyponatremia in our patient.
