A Rare Case of Invasive Aspergillosis of the Pituitary Gland in a Young Immunocompetent Host: Diagnostic Pitfalls and Postoperative Complications.
Article in Cureus, 2024. 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
Invasive aspergillosis (IA) is a rare occurrence, but it should be considered in cases involving pituitary or sellar masses. Here, we present a unique case report of IA affecting the sellar region with para-sellar extension and bilateral carotid artery impingement, notably with minimal involvement of paranasal sinuses. The patient, a 16-year-old immunocompetent female from a developing country, presented without any comorbidities or classic risk factors typically associated with IA. Her initial symptoms included headaches, diplopia, and nausea. Clinically and radiologically, the patient was initially diagnosed with either craniopharyngioma or pituitary macroadenoma. Hormonal studies revealed panhypopituitarism. Previous reports of IA have not described cases with these specific presentations, particularly in this age group and immune status.
