Unmasking hidden culprits: The pivotal role of 4D CT in diagnosing parathyroid adenoma presenting as acute pancreatitis.
Article in Radiology case reports, 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
Primary hyperparathyroidism (PHPT) is an endocrine disorder that can rarely present with acute pancreatitis, a significant yet infrequent complication. We describe 2 patients-a 38-year-old male with a eutopic parathyroid adenoma and a 20-year-old male with an ectopic adenoma-both presenting with elevated parathyroid hormone levels, hypercalcemia, and recurrent acute pancreatitis. In each case, 4D Computed Tomography precisely localized the adenoma, enabling successful surgical resection and immediate normalization of biochemical abnormalities. These cases underscore the importance of considering PHPT in patients with hypercalcemia and pancreatitis and highlight the pivotal role of 4D CT for accurate adenoma localization and optimal surgical management.
