Minimally invasive video-assisted subtotal parathyroidectomy with thymectomy for secondary hyperparathyroidism.
Article in Langenbeck's archives of surgery, 2009. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 4 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
backgroundSecondary hyperparathyroidism (sHPT) is common in patients with chronic renal failure. Bilateral cervical exploration is optimal for patients with sHPT. The aims of this clinical trial are to evaluate the feasibility of video-assisted subtotal parathyroidectomy as an alternative surgical treatment for sHPT.
methodsThis prospective study included 12 consecutive patients with sHPT. Surgical indications included a high intact parathormone level, enlarged parathyroid glands, high bone turnover and conditions refractory to medical treatment of hypercalcemia and hyperphosphatemia.
resultsAll patients underwent minimally invasive video-assisted subtotal parathyroidectomy and trans-cervical thymectomy. Four cervical glands were found in all patients and intrathymic glands were identified in three (25%) patients.
conclusionMinimally invasive video-assisted subtotal parathyroidectomy offers an alternative method, and this technique can be performed safely for sHPT.
