Anesthetic Considerations for the Transsphenoidal Resection of a Pituitary Tumor in an Acromegalic Patient: A Case Report.
Article in Cureus, 2025. 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
Acromegaly can result in many physiological changes that create multiple challenges for the anesthesiologist. Excess growth hormone secretion can result in altered facies, airway obstruction, ventilation challenges, and intubation difficulties. Moreover, hormonal changes can cause electrolyte imbalances, poor glycemic regulation, and hypertension. In addition, radial arterial invasive blood pressure monitoring can be relatively contraindicated given poor ulnar collateral circulation. In this case report, we discuss an acromegalic patient with severe facial, cardiovascular, and respiratory changes who successfully underwent transsphenoidal pituitary gland resection under general anesthesia. We describe our anesthetic approach toward caring for a patient with acromegaly.
