A Rare Case of a Giant Parathyroid Adenoma in a Young Male Patient.
Article in Cureus, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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
A giant parathyroid adenoma (GPTA) is a rare type of primary hyperparathyroidism (PHPT) characterized by a weight of at least 3.5 g. We report a case of a 24-year-old male patient who presented with generalized fatigue and pathological left humeral fracture, found to have a serum calcium level of 16.9 mg/dL and a parathyroid hormone (PTH) level of 3,164 pg/mL. A 5.4 g right inferior type E parathyroid adenoma was excised with normalization of PTH levels. His clinical course was complicated by hungry bone syndrome and required management by a multidisciplinary team involving internal medicine, endocrinology, endocrine surgery, orthopedic surgery, nephrology, thoracic surgery, and genetics.
