Life-threatening intrathyroidal parathyroid adenoma.
Article in International journal of clinical and experimental medicine, 2015. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 6 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled it.
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
Acute primary hyperparathyroidism and parathyroid crisis are characterized by life-threatening hypercalcemia, a rare disorder. A 69-year-old female patient presented at our hospital's neurology clinic with weakness, nausea, vomiting, depression, and hypercalcemia. Treatment of hypercalcemia resulted in no improvement in neurological symptoms, indicating resistance to treatment. Thyroid ultrasonography and parathyroid scintigraphy revealed hypoechoic nodules in the right lobe, pieces of nodules in the left lobe, and high serum calcium and parathyroid hormone levels. After provision of intensive medical treatment including hydration, diuresis, and bisphosphonate infusion resulted in only minimal decrease in the calcium level, urgent surgical treatment was performed. Frozen biopsy of the right intrathyroidal giant parathyroid adenoma in the right lobe confirmed initial diagnosis of primary hyperparathyroidism. Based on the biopsy findings, right parathyroidectomy and right total and left subtotal thyroidectomy were performed. Histopathologic examination revealed a parathyroid adenoma localized inside large thyroid nodules. Review of the findings resulted in diagnosis of intrathyroidal parathyroid adenoma. Symptoms of hypercalcemia improved rapidly during the postoperative period.
