PARATHYROID ADENOMA MIMICKING TUBERCULOSIS IN A PERITONEAL DIALYSIS PATIENT.

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
The most common cause of hypercalcemia is parathyroid hyperplasia and carcinoma. Tuberculosis(TB) and sarcoidosis are the most common granulomatous diseases of the parathyroid. We report a case of parathyroid adenoma that can mimic many lesions. A 46-year-old woman on continuous ambulatory peritoneal dialysis (CAPD) with symptoms and signs of hypercalcemia. Laboratory findings were consistent with tertiary hyperparathyroidism. She underwent elective parathyroidectomy due to high PTH values despite effective treatment including calcimimetics and vitamin D receptor activators. Subtotal thyroidectomy and three and a half of parathyroid adenomas were removed. Histopathological examination revealed features of parathyroid adenoma with granulomatosis infection that supports tuberculosis. In order to confirm the pathological findings, the PCR study was performed on the pathology specimens. After obtaining a negative result, the treatment was stopped. We have reported a case of parathyroid adenoma that mimicking tuberculosis.
