Primary Ηypoparathyroidism in a Patient With Sarcoidosis: A Case Report.
Article in Cureus, 2024. 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
Sarcoidosis is a complex, multisystem granulomatous disorder with a variable clinical presentation, commonly involving the lungs but potentially affecting any organ system. This case report describes a rare occurrence of primary hypoparathyroidism coexisting with sarcoidosis in a 45-year-old male patient. The patient presented with a chronic cough and progressive breathlessness. Diagnostic imaging and histopathological evaluation confirmed stage 1 sarcoidosis, characterized by non-caseating granulomas and elevated angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE) levels. Surprisingly, the patient also exhibited significant hypocalcemia, hyperphosphatemia, and low parathyroid hormone levels, which led to the diagnosis of primary hypoparathyroidism, an unusual finding in the context of sarcoidosis. The patient was treated with corticosteroids for sarcoidosis and calcium supplementation for hypocalcemia, resulting in symptom resolution and normalization of biochemical parameters. This case highlights the importance of considering multiple endocrine disorders, such as hypoparathyroidism, in patients with sarcoidosis, especially when calcium dysregulation is observed. The coexistence of these conditions presents unique diagnostic and therapeutic challenges, necessitating a multidisciplinary approach to patient care.
