1 · What the graph read from it

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.

2 · The registry

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 carcinoma is a very rare malignant tumour of the parathyroid gland, accounting for less than 0.005% of all cancers, and less than 1% of the aetiologies of primary hyperparathyroidism. This case report aims to describe the incidental discovery of a non-secreting parathyroid carcinoma in a left supraclavicular location and to report on the diagnostic difficulties encountered, together with a review of the literature and current management issues. A 43-year-old female presented with a left supraclavicular swelling with no associated signs. Imaging revealed left supra-clavicular adenopathy (Troisier lymph node) associated with a hetero-multi-nodular goiter classified EU-TIRADS 5. The abdominopelvic region was strictly normal. The patient underwent a total thyroidectomy with a left mediastino-recurrent curage and a homolateral laterocervical functional curage. Pathological examination was consistent with parathyroid carcinoma in the left supraclavicular region.
