Rare case of pancreatitis treated by minimally invasive parathyroidectomy.
Article in BMJ case reports, 2022. 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
Hypercalcaemia-induced pancreatitis is a rare and often overlooked phenomena. Despite hyperparathyroidism being a common cause of hypercalcaemia, the association between pancreatitis and hyperparathyroidism remains controversial and is often overlooked. Patients may however suffer serious complications when diagnosis and treatment of hyperparathyroidism are delayed due to insufficient awareness. We present a man in his 40s who was admitted with progressive epigastric pain due to pancreatitis. Blood tests showed elevated serum calcium levels, which led to extensive investigation. Further workups led to the diagnosis of primary hyperparathyroidism due to three parathyroid adenomas. The patient underwent minimally invasive parathyroidectomy, which was followed by an uncomplicated recovery and normal serum calcium levels.
