Diabetes Insipidus Complicating Diabetes Mellitus Type 1: A Pituitary Abscess Diagnosis.
Article in JCEM case reports, 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
In this report we present a case of a 14-year-old girl with type 1 diabetes mellitus (T1DM) who experienced glycemic instability and multiple hormonal deficits, including diabetes insipidus, central hypothyroidism, and central adrenal insufficiency. Brain and sellar magnetic resonance imaging revealed a mass in the suprasellar region, which was confirmed to be a pituitary abscess through transsphenoidal biopsy. T1DM is a chronic systemic disease that can lead to suboptimal glycemic control and increased susceptibility to infections. Pituitary abscess is a rare and serious infection that can manifest with nonspecific signs and symptoms, as well as pituitary hormonal deficiencies. Currently, after a 6-year follow-up the pituitary hormone deficiencies have resolved apart from persistent partial diabetes insipidus. Through a review of the current literature, we discuss the clinical characteristics of pituitary abscess, the challenges in diagnosing it, and speculate on the potential clinical and pathophysiological relationship between this uncommon infection and T1DM in our patient.
