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

Primary Hyperparathyroidism (PHPT) has been reported to occur in members of same family either alone or in syndromic association. We report a family of patients with multi glandular disease wherein we have successfully used intra operative PTH (IOPTH) to assess the completeness of resection. Three members of one family were affected (One male and two females). Two of them had symptomatic disease whereas one was asymptomatic. Since the genetic studies are not available we used a combination of radiological, clinical and laboratory findings to rule out the other components of MEN syndromes. Extent of surgery in familial isolated hyperparathyroidism (FIHP) is controversial. Hence for confirmation of adequate parathyroid tissue resection we used IOPTH. Role of IOPTH has been well established in sporadic PHPT but controversial in multi glandular syndromes. IOPTH was successfully used to confirm the excision and establish cure.
