Parathyromatosis: a very rare cause of recurrent primary hyperparathyroidism - case report and review of the literature.
Review in Annals of the Royal College of Surgeons of England, 2019. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 16 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
Parathyromatosis is a rare entity and usually appears as a consequence of the seeding on previous parathyroid surgery which was applied for the secondary hyperparathyroidism. A 63-year-old woman presented with a history of subtotal thyroidectomy 20 years ago and parathyroidectomy due to primary hyperparathyroidism (PHPT) four years ago. Imaging methods revealed multiple parathyromatosis foci on subcutaneous tissue of the neck. En-bloc resection was performed and pathological examination confirmed the diagnosis of parathyromatosis. After an uneventful 10 months, biochemical and radiological tests revealed recurrence on bilateral thyroid lodges. En-bloc resection was performed. The patient has remained well for 24 months after the second operation and has been followed-up with normal parathormone and serum calcium values. To the best of our knowledge, this report describes the twenty-first case of parathyromatosis in PHPT setting in the literature. It should be kept in mind that parathyromatosis may recur at different sites in the neck even in patients with PHPT.
