Mediastinal parathyroid carcinoma: a case report and review of the literature.
Review in BMC endocrine disorders, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 4 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
backgroundParathyroid carcinoma (PC) is an uncommon cause of primary hyperparathyroidism (PHPT) and particularly rare in the mediastinum. Herein, we present a case of mediastinal PC and conduct a related literature review. CASE PRESENTATION: We described a case of a 50-year-old female patient with PHPT due to mediastinal PC. She was initially admitted to a local hospital in her hometown with hypercalcemia and high blood concentrations of PTH (parathyroid hormone). The patient underwent neck parathyroidectomy and pathological examination suggested parathyroid adenoma. Although the overproduction of serum calcium and PTH declined after the surgery, calcium and PTH increased again one month later, so the patient was transferred to our hospital. A 99
conclusionWith this study, we emphasize the importance of accurate preoperative diagnosis of mediastinal PC and improve clinicians' understanding of the disease.
