Pituitary pars intermedia dysfunction with pituitary gland melanotroph adenoma in a Grevy's zebra (Equus grevyi).

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 22-year and 9-month-old female Grevy's zebra (Equus grevyi) showed signs of polyuria, polydipsia, glucosuria, and muscle atrophy. Blood tests revealed hyperglycemia, hypertriglyceridemia, electrolyte imbalance, high levels of adrenocorticotropic hormone (ACTH) and cortisol, and low levels of hormones secreted by the pituitary pars distalis. Pathological examinations revealed a pituitary gland tumor and bilateral adrenal cortical hyperplasia. Pituitary tumor cells showed immunoreactivity for α-melanocyte-stimulating hormone and ACTH. The deposition of amyloid β was observed in the parenchyma and vascular walls of the cerebrum. The zebra showed clinical signs of pituitary pars intermedia dysfunction and was histopathologically diagnosed with pituitary gland melanotroph adenoma. This case report provides insight into neoplastic and endocrine diseases associated with the aging of a zebra.
