A Rare Case of Severe Hypercalcemia Secondary to Atypical Parathyroid Cystic Adenoma with Negative Sestamibi Scan.
Article in Cureus, 2020. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 5 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
The two types of parathyroid cysts are functional and non-functional cysts. Cystic parathyroid lesions are a rare cause of hypercalcemia and often pose a diagnostic challenge due to the reduced detection on preoperative imaging studies. We, herein, present a rare case of an elderly female presenting to the emergency department with altered mental status associated with hypercalcemic crisis and a negative sestamibi scan. Following surgical resection, pathology revealed the diagnosis of cystic parathyroid adenoma and normalization of serum calcium levels.
