Fracture Due to Hypercalcemia of Benignancy From a Parotid Tumour.
Article in Cureus, 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
Pseudo-arthrosis of the proximal humerus is an uncommon condition that is difficult to treat. Humoral hypercalcemia from a benign tumour is a rare clinical entity and pleomorphic adenoma as its source has never been reported in the literature. We present the case of a 53-year-old gentleman with a pleomorphic parotid gland adenoma and pseudoarthrosis non-union of the proximal humerus exacerbated by symptomatic parathormone-independent hypercalcemia. The non-union is fixed using a novel technique of placing an ipsilateral cortico-cancellous iliac strut graft as a medial buttress and stabilized with a fixed-angle plate over the lateral side. Following the surgical resection of the tumour, hypercalcemia resolved and the patient improved clinically. This case is a good example of a rare endocrine disease managed by a multidisciplinary approach.
