Stroke-like presentation of a small tuberculum sellae meningioma unmasked by corticosteroid use: A case report.
Article in Radiology case reports, 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
Tuberculum sellae meningiomas are known to cause visual symptoms due to their proximity to the optic apparatus. However, their impact on pituitary function, particularly when the tumor is small, is less frequently described. Although secondary adrenal insufficiency is rare in this context, it may be underrecognized. We report a case in which a small (1.2 cm) tuberculum sellae meningioma resulted in clinically relevant adrenocorticotropin deficiency, unmasked by intra-articular corticosteroid injections. The patient initially presented with nonspecific symptoms and transient ischemic attack-like episodes, which led to imaging and identification of the tumor. Surgical resection of the tumor resulted in complete resolution of symptoms. This case highlights the need for a high index of suspicion for pituitary dysfunction even in small suprasellar tumors and suggests that exogenous corticosteroids may exacerbate underlying hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal axis compromise.
