Multiple endocrine neoplasia type 1 with suspicion of Zollinger Ellison syndrome in a family with history of renal stones and hypercalcemia in a limited resource setting: a case report.
Article in Oxford medical case reports, 2022. 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
Multiple endocrine neoplasia type 1 (MEN 1) syndrome is a rare autosomal dominant endocrine tumour syndrome, which can be diagnosed clinically based on family history and the existence of MEN 1-associated tumours or molecularly based on genetic testing. We described the case of a Hispanic 55-year-old male presenting with dysphagia, chest pain and diarrhoea for three months with a family history of hypercalcaemia and nephrolithiasis in first-degree relatives. Primary hyperparathyroidism was suggested by hypercalcaemia, elevated parathyroid hormone level, hypercalciuria, nephrolithiasis on abdominal computed tomography scan and enlarged parathyroid gland on computed tomography pulmonary angiogram. Also, patient had hypergastrinemia and a hypodense lesion in the pancreas on computed tomography scan of abdomen. These findings suggested MEN 1 syndrome with high suspicion of associated Zollinger Ellison syndrome. Our case highlights the importance of family history and high clinical suspicion in patients presenting with primary hyperparathyroidism and hypergastrinemia.
