Robotic-assisted thoracoscopy in the management of mediastinal ectopic parathyroid adenoma: a case report.
Article in Journal of surgical case reports, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 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
Mediastinal ectopic parathyroid adenomas, a rare cause of primary hyperparathyroidism, has evolved significantly with the advent of robotic-assisted surgery. Traditional surgical approaches, while effective, may be associated with considerable morbidity and extended recovery periods. This study aims to evaluate the effectiveness, precision, and postoperative outcomes of robotic thoracoscopy with parathyroidectomy in the management of mediastinal ectopic parathyroid adenomas. A case of a 70-year-old man with a history of primary hyperparathyroidism underwent a successful left robotic thoracoscopy with parathyroidectomy in an ectopic mediastinal parathyroid adenoma. The robotic approach demonstrated advantages such as enhanced precision and minimal invasiveness. However, the learning curve and cost implications of this technology were identified as considerations. Robotic thoracoscopy with parathyroidectomy underscores the potential of robotic surgery in revolutionizing the management of mediastinal ectopic parathyroid adenomas, offering promising precision, emphasizing the need for ongoing research, and evaluation to optimize this innovative surgical method.
