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

backgroundHyperparathyroidism-jaw tumor syndrome (HPT-JT) is a rare autosomal disease caused by inactivating germ-line mutations of HRPT2 gene, with subsequent loss of Parafibromin expression. It is characterized by familial HPT, ossifying jaw tumors, and other associated neoplasms.

methodsClinical, histopathological, and genetic features of three large Italian unrelated HPT-JT kindred were assessed.

resultsThree different germ-line HRPT2 inactivating mutations were identified. Seventeen affected members and six healthy mutation carriers were found. HPT was diagnosed in virtually all affected patients, at a median age of 36.3 years (range 11-71). In all cases, a single parathyroid involvement was found at surgery, although a metachronous multiglandular involvement causing recurrence after selective parathyroidectomy occurred in 17.6% of cases, after a mean disease-free interval of 13.7 years (range 5-27). Parathyroid carcinoma, atypical parathyroid adenoma, and jaw tumor occurred in one case; uterine involvement in 61.5% of women; other associated neoplasms were thyroid carcinoma (two cases) and renal and colon carcinoma (one case). Immunohistochemistry confirmed the loss of Parafibromin as the distinctive feature of the disease both in parathyroid and uterine tumors.

conclusionsHPT-JT has a frequent single-gland parathyroid involvement and a relatively increased risk of parathyroid carcinoma. The penetrance of the disease is high but incomplete. Regardless of the denomination of the syndrome, jaw tumors occur rarely, while uterine involvement is frequently present. Selective parathyroidectomy may be an effective strategy, but a prolonged follow-up is required because of the risk of recurrences and malignancies. A systematic investigation is also required because of associated malignancies.
