Brown Tumors Mimicking Skeletal Metastases: A Diagnostic Pitfall in Primary Hyperparathyroidism.
Article in Clinical case reports, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 papers.
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
Brown tumors are rare but important manifestations of primary hyperparathyroidism (PHPT). These benign, fibrotic, and erosive bony lesions result from localized rapid osteoclastic activity driven by excessive parathyroid hormone levels. Although brown tumors are considered one of the most pathognomonic signs of PHPT, they are infrequently encountered in clinical practice. They closely mimic malignant osteolytic processes, posing a diagnostic challenge, especially in cases of undiagnosed hyperparathyroidism. Radiographic findings often resemble those of metastatic bone disease or primary bone malignancies.
