Invasive pituitary adenoma presenting with cerebrospinal fluid rhinorrhea and meningitis - A case report.
Article in Surgical neurology international, 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
Background: Most pituitary neuroendocrine tumors are benign, except some adenomas that show invasiveness and are called invasive pituitary adenomas. These are challenging and rare pathologies. Case Description: We present a case of a 40-year-old male who presented to the emergency with seizures, rhinorrhea, headache, and drowsiness. Radiology images showed a sellar mass with supra-sellar extension and pneumocephalus. The pituitary profile was within normal limits. The patient underwent bifrontal craniotomy and maximum safe resection of the lesion with cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) leak repair and lumbar drain insertion. Histological examination and immunohistochemical stain were consistent with pituitary adenoma. Postoperatively, there was no CSF leak, and the patient's Glasgow Coma Scale improved. Conclusion: Rhinorrhea is a unique presentation for pituitary adenoma. According to the current literature, surgery is the only effective treatment as part of the management of invasive pituitary adenomas, along with a multidisciplinary approach.
