Percutaneous Transsternal Cryoablation of Ectopic Parathyroid Adenoma in the Anterior Mediastinum.
Article in Journal of the Endocrine Society, 2017. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 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
Ectopic parathyroid adenomas are common in the context of hyperparathyroidism and represent a unique challenge in terms of localization and treatment. Often they are related to higher serum calcium levels than those associated with parathyroid adenomas in typical locations. Additionally, ectopic adenomas often lead to higher morbidity due to failed parathyroid exploration and multiple attempts at surgical removal. We present two cases of computed tomography-guided percutaneous transsternal cryoablation of ectopic parathyroid adenomas in the anterior mediastinum, one after failed surgical resection and the other after failed transarterial embolization. Cryoablation may represent a safe and effective alternative to surgery or embolization and should be included in the therapeutic algorithm in patients with percutaneously accessible lesions.
