Intrathyroidal oncocytic parathyroid adenoma in an adult: A diagnostic challenge - Case report.
Article in International journal of surgery case reports, 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
Introduction and importance: Intrathyroidal parathyroid adenoma ((IPAs) is a rare localization of parathyroid adenomas, potentially leading to both diagnostic and therapeutic challenges. We report a case of primary hyperparathyroidism revealed by bone and joint pain, with an atypical intrathyroidal location of the oncocytic parathyroid adenoma Case presentation: A 72-year-old woman was admitted for evaluation and management of chronic bone and joint pain. Laboratory tests revealed hypercalcemia associated with elevated parathyroid hormone (PTH) levels. Cervical ultrasound showed a 3 cm right lobar nodule classified as EU-TIRADS 3. Technetium-99 m sestamibi (MIBI) scintigraphy demonstrated intense uptake at the same location, raising suspicion of either thyroid or parathyroid origin. The patient underwent a right loboisthmectomy. Definitive histological analysis confirmed a 3 cm intrathyroid parathyroid adenoma Clinical discussion: Despite their rarity, IPAs hold significant clinical importance, as their atypical location within the thyroid parenchyma can lead to failed surgical explorations if not properly considered. Conclusion: This case illustrates the rarity and diagnostic complexity of ectopic intrathyroidal oncocytic parathyroid adenomas, which can lead to failed surgical explorations. This is highlights the importance of a multimodal diagnostic approach including ultrasound, MIBI scintigraphy, and histopathology for optimal management.
