1 · What the graph read from 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.

2 · The registry

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

rationaleThis is a rare case of mediastinal typical carcinoid tumor with elevated parathyroid hormone (PTH) and hypercalcemia detected by Tc -methoxy-isobutyl-isonitrile(Tc-MIBI) single photon emission computed tomography/computed tomography (SPECT/CT) imaging. PATIENT CONCERNS: A 65-year-old male patient presented with hypercalcemia and elevated PTH. DIAGNOSES: The preoperative diagnosis was ectopic parathyroid adenoma in the right superior mediastinum.

interventionsWe performed endoscopic removal of the mass in the superior mediastinum. OUTCOMES: Histopathology and immunohistochemistry revealed typical carcinoid. LESSONS: The differential diagnosis of mediastinal tumors with elevated PTH detected by Tc-MIBI dual-phase imaging should include ectopic parathyroid adenoma as well as carcinoid.
