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

We describe the histological, histochemical, and immunohistochemical features of an unusual neoplasm of the parathyroid gland showing the histologic criteria of a mixed neuroendocrine-nonneuroendocrine neoplasm (MiNEN). To the best of our knowledge, this is the first report of such a tumor. A 43-year old male presented with acute and severe abdominal pain due to acute pancreatitis. On physical examination a painless lump in the right neck was detected and laboratory analyses revealed hyperparathyroidism (parathormone: 146 pmol/L, normal range 1.05-6.83) and hypercalcemia (calcium level: 3.02 mg/dL, normal range 2.25-2.5), which fell to 2.55 mg/dL after parathyroidectomy. Histologically, the tumor was a parathyroid carcinoma associated with a mucous secreting adenocarcinoma also confirmed by histochemical (Alcian blue-periodic acid Schiff) and immunohistochemical stainings. The present case expands the spectrum of MiNENs that can be found in endocrine organs.
