Parathyroid Cyst: A Case Report of an Uncommon Diagnosis of a Cervical Mass.
Article in Cureus, 2020. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
Parathyroid cysts (PCs) are uncommon entities in clinical practice. The lack of pathognomonic clinical presentation and radiological features of PCs makes preoperative diagnosis unlikely, therefore, most cases are diagnosed intraoperatively or postoperatively at the pathological analysis of the surgical specimen. Treatment of nonfunctional PCs remains controversial and includes fine-needle aspiration, injection of sclerosant, or surgical excision. However, surgical resection still the optimal treatment for functional and larger nonfunctional PCs. We report a case of a 60-year-old female presenting with asymptomatic left-sided cervical swelling diagnosed postoperatively as a nonfunctional PC.
