Parathyroid Carcinoma: A Clinical Case Report and Literature Review.
Article in Cureus, 2025. 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
Parathyroid carcinoma is an exceptionally rare malignant tumor of the parathyroid gland. Clinically, it most often presents as severe primary hyperparathyroidism. Diagnosis relies on histopathological analysis, although it is often difficult to establish due to the lack of clearly pathognomonic criteria. Management is primarily based on complete surgical excision. We report the case of a 55-year-old woman with no significant medical history, admitted for evaluation of a suspicious parathyroid nodule discovered in the context of hyperparathyroidism. She underwent parathyroidectomy along with total thyroidectomy. The postoperative course was favorable, with normalization of laboratory parameters and no signs of recurrence. This case highlights the diagnostic complexity of parathyroid carcinoma, despite suggestive clinical, biological, and imaging findings. Histological diagnosis remains challenging due to overlapping features with benign lesions. Complete surgical excision during the initial operation is the main favorable prognostic factor, both for therapeutic success and prevention of recurrence.
