Meningoencephalitis and secondary pituitary abscess in a 16-year-old patient with gigantism.

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
Pituitary adenomas occur in children quite rarely. Furthermore, pituitary abscesses are recognized as particularly rare conditions, posing considerable challenges in both diagnosis and management. We report the case of a 16-year-old patient presenting with bacterial meningoencephalitis of unknown origin, complicated by a superinfected pituitary macroadenoma. The patient initially exhibited clinical signs suggestive of meningitis, and lumbar puncture revealed a macroscopically turbid cerebrospinal fluid. Magnetic resonance imaging identified a frontobasal meningoencephalitis complicated by a suspected apoplectic pituitary adenoma measuring 30.1 mm (volume: 9.0 cm
