Prolonged hospital stay after parathyroidectomy for secondary hyperparathyroidism.
Article in World journal of surgery, 2009. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. It is linked to trial NCT00905866 (Evaluation of Quality of Life in Patients Undergoing Parathyroidectomy), which is not on this map. Cited by 24 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled 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.

Abstract
backgroundProtracted hypocalcemia is the most common complication after parathyroidectomy for secondary hyperparathyroidism. Several parameters have been identified to predict the degree of postoperative hypocalcemia. The purpose of this study was to determine whether there were any factors associated with prolonged hospitalization in these patients.
methodsA total of 81 consecutive patients with end-stage renal disease and advanced secondary hyperparathyroidism who underwent parathyroidectomy between January 2004 and December 2006 were studied. The postoperative calcium infusion protocol and discharge criteria were standardized. Clinical variables were compared between patients with a shorter or longer postoperative stay.
resultsThe mean postoperative hospital stay was 5.6 days. Preoperative alkaline phosphatase levels were significantly higher in patients with a longer stay (p=0.035). In a linear regression model, the postoperative length of stay was moderately but significantly correlated with preoperative alkaline phosphatase levels (R2=0.254; p<0.001). Receiver operating characteristic analysis showed a significant area under the curve (0.678; 95% confidence interval 0.550-0.805; p=0.014). With a cutoff of preoperative alkaline phosphatase levels at 200 IU/L, the sensitivity was 0.57 and the specificity was 0.59 for predicting a prolonged stay.
conclusionsA high preoperative alkaline phosphatase level is significantly associated with prolonged hospital stay in patients undergoing parathyroidectomy for secondary hyperparathyroidism.
