Parathyroid Adenoma with Macrofollicular Growth Pattern: A Rare Histopathological Entity.
Article in Journal of the ASEAN Federation of Endocrine Societies, 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
The majority of parathyroid adenomas can be localized preoperatively using various imaging techniques. The success rate of focused parathyroidectomy exceeds 95% when performed by an experienced surgeon. Here, we report an apparent failure of focused right inferior parathyroidectomy performed for a preoperatively detected parathyroid adenoma. This misinterpretation arose due to macrofollicular growth pattern of the resected parathyroid adenoma, which mimicked thyroid tissue. The patient subsequently underwent re-exploration, including intraoperative ultrasound, which revealed that the culprit gland had, in fact, been successfully removed during the initial surgery. This finding was also supported by a significant decrease in the intraoperative parathyroid hormone level, as compared to the pre-operative level. This case highlights the rare macrofollicular histology of parathyroid adenoma and underscores the importance of a multidisciplinary team in successfully treating the condition.
