Giant Parathyroid Adenoma: A Case Report.
Article in Cureus, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 6 papers.
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
Parathyroid adenomas rarely weigh more than 4 grams. Our patient had a 5.3-gram adenoma causing bilateral knee pain limiting mobility, constipation, low back pain, and frontal headache. Presenting with calcium of greater than 17 mg/dl, the patient was treated with two rounds of hemodialysis, calcitonin, Zoledronate, and aggressive IV hydration to decrease calcium levels before parathyroidectomy. The patient then went on to develop the hungry bone syndrome, which was treated with calcium carbonate and calcitriol. This rare giant parathyroid adenoma presents a unique opportunity to learn about the pathogenesis and treatment of longstanding hyperparathyroidism causing hypercalcemia-associated symptoms and hungry bone syndrome after parathyroidectomy.
