Super-selective venous sampling in conjunction with quickPTH for patients with persistent primary hyperparathyroidism: report of five cases.
Article in Surgery today, 2012. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 5 papers.
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.
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
Selective venous sampling (SVS) helps to interpret imaging results in patients with persistent primary hyperparathyroidism (pHPT). However, one of the drawbacks of conventional SVS may be low "spatial resolution", depending on the sample size. We modified SVS in the following way: first, patients underwent conventional SVS with up to 11 parathyroid hormone (PTH) samples taken. The quickPTH assay was used to measure PTH levels. The patients subsequently underwent super-selective venous sampling (super-SVS) in the region with the highest quickPTH level in the same session. The subjects were five consecutive patients with persistent pHPT investigated by various imaging techniques, none of which was considered conclusive. Therefore, all five patients underwent super-SVS, which was done successfully in four. Re-evaluation of the imaging results of these four patients resulted in localization of the parathyroid adenoma. Curative surgery was performed successfully in all four patients during the study period. Super-SVS increases the "spatial resolution" of conventional SVS and may have advantages when imaging results of patients with persistent pHPT are interpreted. Its true value must be analyzed in larger studies.
