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

backgroundThe management of hyperparathyroidism (HPT) in the familial setting is complex. Due to the rarity of familial HPT and its different presentation within and between the familial syndromes and individual kindreds, treatment recommendations based on high levels of evidence cannot be made. However, based on the molecular genetic studies and case series from institutions with significant experience, important management principles (grade C recommendations) have been developed.

methodsWe conducted a systematic review of the literature using evidence-based criteria.

resultsIssue 1: initial operation in multiple endocrine neoplasia type 1 (MEN1), a grade C recommendation can be made for subtotal parathyroidectomy. Issue 2: initial surgery in MEN 2A, a grade C recommendation can be made for excision of enlarged glands only. Issue 3: surgery in familial isolated HPT and HPT-jaw tumor (HPT-JT) syndrome may be treated with parathyroidectomy that is subtotal or less, although the risk of parathyroid cancer in HPT-JT requires attention (no grade of recommendation). Issue 4: parathyroid surgery in familial HPT syndromes in the setting of underlying mutations in the calcium receptor (CASR) gene involves subtotal parathyroidectomy (no grade of recommendation). Issue 5: the use of intraoperative PTH measurements in familial HPT may guide the extent of parathyroid resection (no grade of recommendation).

conclusionsThe goals of parathyroidectomy in familial HPT are to achieve and maintain normocalcemia for the longest time possible, avoid both iatrogenic hypocalcemia and operative complications, and facilitate future surgery for recurrent disease.
