Effect of preoperative vitamin D deficiency on postoperative hypocalcemia after thyroid surgery.
Article in Thyroid research, 2014. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 16 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
backgroundTransient post thyroidectomy hypocalcemia occurs in up to 30% of patients. We evaluated the effect of vitamin D deficiency on post thyroidectomy hypocalcaemia.
methodsThis is a prospective study which was conducted from November 2010 to January 2013 and a total of 35 patients were included and data was analyzed regarding the relation between preoperative vitamin D3 levels and occurrence of post- thyroidectomy hypocalcemia. Patients were divided into two groups dependent upon the preoperative serum vitamin D level: group 1 with vitamin D levels <20 ng/ml and group 2 with serum vitamin D levels ≥20 ng/ml. Hypocalcemia was defined as a postoperative calcium level <8.5 mg/dl.
resultsThere was a difference in postoperative hypocalcemia between the two vitamin D groups. In patients with serum vitamin D ≤20 ng/ml mean pre-operative and post-operative serum calcium levels were 9.3 ± 0.5 and 8.4 ± 0.58 g dl (p < .001) whereas in patients with serum vitamin D levels >20 ng/ml mean pre-operative and post-operative serum calcium were 9.52 ± 0.64 and 8.9 ± 0.5 (p = ns).
conclusionsPre-operative serum vitamin D levels have got positive correlation with serum calcium levels in early post-operative period. Patients with serum vitamin D levels <20 ng/ml are highly likely to develop early post-operative hypocalcaemia and the difference between pre-operative and post-operative serum calcium levels in vitamin D deficient patients was significant (p < 0.001).
