Beyond secondary hyperparathyroidism: Diagnosing primary parathyroid abnormalities in a patient with chronic kidney disease.
Article in Radiology 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
Chronic kidney disease (CKD) is a complex medical condition that extends beyond the progressive decline in renal function. It is associated with mineral and bone disorders, notably secondary hyperparathyroidism due to dysregulated calcium and phosphate metabolism. However, distinguishing between secondary and primary hyperparathyroidism can be challenging. We report the case of a 74-year-old male with CKD, who presented with elevated serum levels of parathyroid hormone (PTH), CKD, and unexplained hypercalcemia, despite management for secondary hyperparathyroidism. Advanced imaging techniques revealed a primary parathyroid adenoma, subsequently confirmed by histopathology. The successful surgical resection of the adenoma resulted in the calcium and PTH levels falling into a normal range, highlighting the need for a careful differential diagnosis in CKD patients.
