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

Routinely processed parathyroid tissues from 26 cases with primary hyperparathyroidism (19 adenomas, 7 multiglandular hyperplasia) and 8 normal human parathyroid glands were investigated with antibodies against chromogranin A and B and parathyroid hormone (PTH). Normal parathyroids were immunohistochemically positive for PTH and chromogranin A but negative for chromogranin B. Hyperplastic glands showed a focal staining for PTH and chromogranin A without correlation of the staining pattern on serial sections. Adenomas were either uniformly positive for both PTH and chromogranin A or showed a staining pattern similar to that seen in hyperplastic glands. Focal chromogranin B positivity (less than 10% of cells) was found in 3 cases (1 hyperplastic gland and 2 cases of parathyroid adenoma with an immunohistochemical staining pattern similar to hyperplastic glands). Our immunohistochemical results may support previously published findings that most parathyroid adenomas are monoclonal neoplasms whereas hyperplastic glands are of polyclonal origin.
