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

Objective: Ectopic parathyroid gland-induced hypercalcemia is unusual, whereas hypercalcemia from a gastrointestinal stromal tumor (GIST) is extremely rare. This study aims to present a rare case of simultaneous ectopic parathyroid adenoma and GIST, associated with two episodes of hypercalcemia, and to review imaging techniques for ectopic parathyroid localization and the mechanism of hypercalcemia linked to GISTs. Methods: The clinical manifestations, diagnostic workup, therapeutic interventions, and outcomes of the present case were analyzed. To evaluate advanced imaging modalities, particularly four-dimensional computed tomography (4D-CT) and Results: An 87-year-old man presented with progressive renal dysfunction and hypercalcemic hyperparathyroidism. Conclusions: To our knowledge, this case represents the first reported coexistence of an ectopic parathyroid adenoma and a GIST. 4D-CT and FCH-PET/CT can be used as alternative imaging modalities following
