A parathyroid carcinoma mimicking thyroid carcinoma; A case report.
Article in International journal of surgery case reports, 2022. 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
introduction and importanceParathyroid carcinoma is an extremely rare endocrine neoplasm. Most of the patients present with severe hyperparathyroidism with altered serum calcium levels. CASE PRESENTATION: We describe a patient who presented with a neck mass and secondary hyperparathyroidism Ultrasound (USG) suggested a tumor located near the lower pole of the thyroid gland. USG guided FNAC suggested parathyroid neoplasm. CT scan showed tumor infiltration of the parathyroid gland. The patient underwent total resection of the tumor along with total thyroidectomy and right central compartment clearance. The biopsy of the mass confirmed the parathyroid carcinoma infiltrating the thyroid gland. CLINICAL DISCUSSION: Parathyroid carcinoma is a rare endocrine carcinoma. Due to its location, it is often misdiagnosed as thyroid carcinoma. It can present with problems related to bones, kidney stones, psychiatric problems and many others. Serum calcium, Parathormone level, Ultrasound neck, CT scan and MIBI scan are the imaging study for early diagnosis of Parathyroid carcinoma. Complete removal of tumor followed by regular follow up with serum calcium and Parathormone level will help to improve the survival of Patient.
conclusionDiagnosis of parathyroid carcinoma is very challenging due to the limited contribution of imaging. It mimics thyroid carcinoma due to the origin of the tumor from the lower pole of the thyroid area. It is extremely important for suspicion of parathyroid tumor in case of neck mass who have an abnormality in serum calcium and parathormone level. Total resection of the tumor with a negative margin is important to control hyperparathyroidism and increase the survival.
