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

Parathytomatosis is a rare cause of persistent or recurrent hyperparathyroidism, defined by the presence of hyperfunctioning parathyroid tissues scattered throughout the neck and mediastinum. Preoperative diagnosis and localization of all the seeded parathyroid tissue is difficult, therefore, many imaging modalities are needed to determine the localization of these lesions for a more successful outcome. We report a case of a young girl with a severe primary hyperparathyroidism (PHPT) from a parathyroid adenoma, with renal and bone complications. She underwent parathyroidectomy and developed 2 years later recurrent disease in the form of parathyromatosis. We review the different tools for diagnosis and management since this condition remains a challenging issue. To our best knowledge, this case is the youngest case described in the literature and highlights the difficulties of management of parathyromatosis and the potential complications that may ensue from this disease.
