Reviewing the Possible Rare Reasons for Normal Parathyroid Hormone, Vitamin D and Serum Calcium Levels in a Patient With Severe Osteoporosis and Radiologic Parathyroid Adenoma: 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
Literature evidence describing a seeming de novo occurrence of severe osteoporosis accompanied by the presence of parathyroid adenoma with normal serum parathormone level (PTH), normal serum vitamin D, and serum calcium levels is rare; hence, this case report. In the absence of raised parathormone levels and the demonstration of the presence of parathyroid adenoma, the hypothesis that the authors were left with was that could certain forms of parathyroid adenoma express factors or active substances with severe osteoclastic activity. Or, could certain expressed PTH molecules in parathyroid adenoma scenarios prove difficult to assay using conventional study methods? We have reviewed the literature in a bid to provide answers to these possible uncommon scenarios. We present the case of the above occurrence in a 65-year-old female patient with no genetic evidence of familial hypocalciuric hypercalcemia or familial hyperparathyroidism and with a normal renal function test.
