Unusual presentation of primary hyperparathyroidism: report of three cases.
Article in BMC medical imaging, 2015. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 12 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
backgroundPrimary hyperparathyroidism is an endocrinopathic condition characterized by hypersecretion of parathyroid hormone. Excess parathyroid hormone results in an altered state of osseous metabolism involving bone resorption and tissue change known as osteitis fibrosa cystica, which is the end stage of primary hyperparathyroidism. Osteitis fibrosa cystica is associated with the development of brown tumors, which are rare because hyperparathyroidism is now usually diagnosed and treated before symptoms develop. Brown tumors are rarely the first symptom of hyperparathyroidism and can occasionally be mistaken for malignancy. CASE PRESENTATION: We herein report three cases of primary hyperparathyroidism with an unusual presentation of brown tumors. All three patients were Asian. In the first case, a 42-year-old man was admitted with a mass mimicking a malignant bone neoplasm in the right mandible as the first manifestation of primary hyperparathyroidism. The second case involved a 25-year-old man admitted with a fracture of his right femur. The third case involved a 43-year-old man with multiple brown tumors in both lower limbs. All three patients underwent successful parathyroidectomy for parathyroid adenomas; one case was complicated by a papillary thyroid carcinoma.
conclusionComplete evaluation of the medical history and biochemical and radiographic findings is necessary to achieve a correct diagnosis and avoid unnecessary bone resections in patients with primary hyperparathyroidism.
