Tuberculous granulomatous inflammation associated with adenoma of parathyroid gland manifesting as primary hyperparathyroidism.
Article in Endocrine pathology, 2001. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 10 papers.
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
A 36-year-old female presented with generalized bone pain, muscular weakness and enlarged cervical lymph nodes. The biochemical findings and skeletal survey was suggestive of primary hyperparathyroidism (PHPT). CT of neck and thorax showed enlarged multiple lymph nodes in the cervical and superior mediastinal region. With a diagnosis of PHPT she underwent cervical exploration and excision of enlarged right inferior parathyroid gland along with biopsy of nodes were done. Histopathology revealed the features of right parathyroid adenoma with few foci of epithelioid granuloma and granulomatous lymphadenitis. AFB smear and culture sensitivity was negative. A positive PCR for Mycobacterium tuberculosis of the homogenates of parathyroid tumor confirmed tuberculous inflammation within the parathyroid adenoma. To the best of our knowledge this is the first reported case of parathyroid adenoma associated with tuberculous pathology in a case of PHPT.
