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

backgroundParathyroid carcinoma as a cause of primary hyperparathyroidism in children is extremely rare. We report a case of parathyroid carcinoma which occurred in a 13-year-old girl who survived for more than 45 years after the first operation. CASE PRESENTATION: A woman was admitted to our hospital for the treatment of recurrent parathyroid carcinoma in the neck. She had been diagnosed with primary hyperparathyroidism from a fibula fracture and underwent parathyroidectomy at 13 years old. She had no family history of multiple endocrine neoplasia or jaw tumor syndrome. Genetic testing was not performed, and the histopathological diagnosis of the tumor had been parathyroid adenoma at the time. At 22 years old, she showed hypercalcemia after a femur fracture. Pulmonary metastases of parathyroid carcinoma in the bilateral lungs were found and surgically removed. Regarding the clinical course, her diagnosis was corrected from parathyroid adenoma to parathyroid carcinoma. At 33 years old, re-resection of the lung metastases was performed. For 10 years, her serum calcium level stayed within the normal range. However, her serum calcium level and intact parathyroid hormone eventually began to increase. Two masses suspected of being parathyroid carcinoma recurrence were found in the neck when she was 57 years old. En bloc resection was performed. Pathologically, the tumors were diagnosed as parathyroid adenoma. The serum calcium level and intact parathyroid hormone did not decrease after the operation. A
