Recurrent Lymphocytic Hypophysitis Presenting as Internal Carotid Artery Stenosis and Oculomotor Nerve Palsy.

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
A 75-year-old woman presented with nausea and vomiting. Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) revealed that she had a pituitary mass. A biopsy revealed lymphocytic hypophysitis (LYH). Symptoms were improved by hormone replacement therapy. Although she was asymptomatic, follow-up MRI revealed an increase in the size of the mass. Intravenous methylprednisolone (IVMP) reduced the size of the mass; however, right ophthalmalgia and oculomotor nerve palsy developed. MRI showed that the pituitary mass had enlarged to the right oculomotor nerve in the cavernous sinus and to the right internal carotid artery (ICA), causing stenosis of the ICA. After IVMP administration, the symptoms dramatically improved, but ICA stenosis persisted.
