Severe Hyponatremia From Syndrome of Inappropriate Antidiuretic Hormone Secretion as the Initial Presentation of a Gonadotroph Pituitary Neuroendocrine Tumor: A Case Report.

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 neuroendocrine tumors, formerly referred to as pituitary adenomas, are common intracranial neoplasms. Most are benign and slow-growing. Clinical manifestations typically arise from hormonal hypersecretion or mass effect on adjacent structures. Hyponatremia due to syndrome of inappropriate antidiuretic hormone secretion is an uncommon presentation of pituitary tumors and has been rarely reported. We present the case of a 35-year-old woman with a history of secondary amenorrhea and infertility who exhibited progressive headache and recurrent presyncope episodes. Laboratory tests showed that the patient had severe hyponatremia (sodium {Na}: 121 mmol/L), low serum osmolality (252 mOsm/kg), inappropriately elevated urine osmolality (748 mOsm/kg), elevated urinary sodium (112 mEq/L), hypouricemia (1.9 mg/dL), and a fractional excretion of uric acid of 11.66%, consistent with syndrome of inappropriate antidiuretic hormone secretion. Hormonal assessment indicated hypogonadotropic hypogonadism characterized by diminished levels of follicle-stimulating hormone, luteinizing hormone, and estradiol. Magnetic resonance imaging of the brain showed a sellar mass measuring 19 × 31 × 32 mm with a suprasellar extension and compression of the optic chiasm. Visual field testing corroborated bitemporal hemianopsia. The patient had an endoscopic transsphenoidal resection of the lesion. Histopathological examination identified a plurihormonal mature pituitary neuroendocrine tumor of gonadotroph lineage, exhibiting positive immunohistochemical staining for SF-1 and INSM1, negative expression for Pit-1, and a Ki-67 proliferation index of 10%. This case illustrates an uncommon manifestation of a gonadotroph pituitary neuroendocrine tumor presenting as severe hyponatremia secondary to syndrome of inappropriate antidiuretic hormone secretion. Identifying this unusual presentation is crucial, as prompt diagnosis and intervention may avert considerable neurological, metabolic, and visual complications.
