Retrospection of Seldom-Known Causes and Presentations of Partial Empty Sella Syndrome.
Article in Cureus, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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 gland shrinkage or flattening obscures it from view on an MRI, giving the impression that it is an empty sella. On the other hand, if some viable pituitary gland tissue is still seen on the MRI scan, a diagnosis of partial empty sella can be made. Diminished physiological and functional reserve in the elderly can result in a bad prognosis if not treated early. Therefore, there is a need to become familiar with fewer known causes and presentations of the empty sella or partial empty sella syndrome in older patients. We report a case of a 71-year-old female with multiple known ailments presenting with hypotension as the sole symptom. It urged us to investigate further and reach the root cause as partial empty sella syndrome with panhypopituitarism.
