Spontaneous Regression of Brown Tumor in a Patient Treated With Peritoneal Dialysis.
Article in Cureus, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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
A 52-year-old man, with a history of diabetic nephropathy and renal cancer, had been treated with peritoneal dialysis for four months before consulting our hospital. At the time of imaging evaluation, three years after surgery for renal cancer, fluorodeoxyglucose accumulation was found at the distal metaphysis of the left radius. After the biopsy, he was diagnosed with giant cell tumor of bone (GCTB), and surgery was scheduled. However, osteogenesis was observed in the images retaken before surgery. It was found that his intact parathyroid hormone level had been abnormally high four months prior to his visit to us but had subsequently normalized. The tissue obtained by re-biopsy revealed osteogenesis with the disappearance of multinucleated giant cells, suggesting a brown tumor (BT). The tumor was thought to have been caused by secondary hyperparathyroidism (HPT) associated with peritoneal dialysis. When osteolytic lesions mimicking GCTB are found, the possibility of BT should be considered based on comorbidities and clinical information.
