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 adenomas are benign neoplasms of the parathyroid parenchymal cells and the most common cause of primary hyperparathyroidism. The existing literature reporting data on parathyroid adenomas without elevated parathormone and calcium levels is, to our knowledge, limited. The aim of this article is to describe such a case in a patient with coexistent papillary thyroid carcinoma. A 54-year-old female patient presented with a nontoxic multinodular goitre, a nodular lesion in the thyroid isthmus classified as Bethesda V and a lesion behind the left upper thyroid lobe, indicative of parathyroid tumour. There was no clinical or laboratory evidence of hyperparathyroidism. Total thyroidectomy and left upper parathyroidectomy were performed and the histological confirmation of parathyroid adenoma was obtained. This article constitutes a rare case report of a parathyroid adenoma with synchronous papillary thyroid carcinoma but without the expected clinical and laboratory findings of hyperparathyroidism.
