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

backgroundIn recent years several endoscopic and video-assisted techniques for parathyroidectomy have been described. The role of these techniques, with respect to time-honored conventional surgery, has been largely debated. This paper was designed to review the evidence, and make the recommendations, for the video-assisted/endoscopic approach to parathyroidectomy.

methodsA database search was conducted in PubMed from which abstracts were screened matching our definition. Publications were further assessed and assigned their respective level of evidence. Additional data were obtained on the basis of our personal experience.

resultsThirty-eight mainly retrospective studies have been published. Only four small, prospective, randomized trials, providing level II evidence, and one retrospective case-control comparative study, providing level IV evidence, have been found. Minimally invasive video-assisted parathyroidectomy (MIVAP) has emerged as one of the leading techniques. To date several randomized studies have shown that MIVAP is an efficacious and feasible procedure with the same complications rate as conventional surgery. Moreover, MIVAP seems to have significant advantages in terms of cosmetic result, postoperative pain and recovery, and patient satisfaction.

conclusionsFrom an evidence-based point of view, MIVAP should be considered a valid and validated option for the treatment of sporadic primary hyperparathyroidism sustained by a well-localized, single adenoma. Its role for the treatment of multiglandular diseases (familial hyperparathyroidism, secondary hyperparathyroidism) needs to be better clarified.
