Brown tumor due to primary hyperparathyroidism resulting in acute paraparesis: Case report and literature review.
Article in Surgical neurology international, 2020. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 7 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
backgroundBrown tumor (Osteoclastoma) is a rare benign, focal, lytic bone lesion most commonly attributed to a parathyroid adenoma; it occurs in approximately 5% of patients with primary hyperparathyroidism, and 13% of patients with secondary hyperparathyroidism. Most tumors are located in the mandible, pelvis, ribs, and large bones; only rarely is it found in the axial spine. CASE DESCRIPTION: A 37-year-old male with primary hyperparathyroidism presented with an MR-documented T4 and T5 brown tumor (Osteitis Fibrosa Cystica) resulting in an acute paraparesis. The patient successfully underwent excisional biopsy of an expansile, enhancing, bony destructive lesion at the T4-5 level. Subsequently, he required subtotal excision of a left upper parathyroid tumor.
conclusionPatient with primary hyperparathyroidism may acutely present with paraparesis attributed to brown tumors of the spine warranting emergent operative decompression.
