Parathyroid carcinoma: A report of six cases with a brief review of the literature.
Article in Oncology letters, 2015. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 7 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
Parathyroid carcinoma (PC) is an uncommon endocrine malignancy and constitutes a rare cause of hyperparathyroidism. The current study presents the clinical features, laboratory findings, sensitivity of imaging modalities, surgical treatment and the long-term outcome of six patients, who were diagnosed with PC and treated in the Department of Head and Neck Surgery, Zhejiang Province Cancer Hospital (Hangzhou, China) over 13 years (February 1999-January 2012). Pre-operative recognition and intraoperative identification of this rare endocrine malignancy is extremely important, but require a high index of clinical suspicion. The primary treatment is surgical en bloc resection of the tumor and any involved surrounding structures, and it is of great importance, as the prognosis depends on the initial surgery. Radiation therapy and chemotherapy showed no evidence of effectiveness on PC, although certain data show a decreased risk of localized disease recurrence with the addition of radiation therapy. The prognosis of PC is variable and post-operative parathyroid hormone levels that do not decrease often indicate a poor prognosis or presence of other metastases.
