A patient with multiple brown tumors due to secondary hyperparathyroidism: A case report.
Article in Radiology case reports, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 4 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
Brown tumor is an uncommon non-neoplastic radiolucent bone lesion due to a rapid bone loss replaced by haemorrhage and reparative granulation tissue. It is a manifestation of hyperparathyroidism related to the high level of parathyroid hormone and represents a problem linked to the adherence to therapy. We present a case of a 44 years-old Caucasian female with hemodialysis-dependent chronic kidney disease in poor sanitary condition with CT evidence of innumerable and widespread bone tumors. At first, we considered these bone lesions strongly suspicious for metastasis, so we recommended an oncological consultation and laboratory studies, that showed a secondary hyperparathyroidism with elevated serum parathormone level of 923 pg/mL (normal range: 10-70 pg/mL). According to our experience, in case of radiological evidence of multiple bone lesions, a correct medical history is mandatory. When the patient has a history of chronic kidney disease and dialysis and high blood levels of parathyroid hormone are present, secondary hyperparathyroidism should always be considered in the differential diagnosis.
