1 · What the graph read from it

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.

2 · The registry

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 59-year-old man was admitted to our hospital with hyponatremia. An endocrine examination indicated panhypopituitarism, and magnetic resonance imaging revealed a mass-like lesion in the pituitary gland. Sinus endoscopy revealed a fungal mass in the sphenoid sinus, and the patient was diagnosed with hypopituitarism due to aspergillosis of the central nervous system (CNS). The patient's hyponatremia resolved with hydrocortisone replacement. Although the right internal carotid artery was eventually occluded, antifungal medications were administered for the aspergillosis, and the patient's general condition improved. The patient's CNS lesions have remained under control since discharge. This is the first case to suggest that ACTH secretion may be relatively preserved in Aspergillus-induced hypopituitarism.
