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

backgroundHereditary hyperparathyroidism has been reported to occur in 5-10 % of cases of primary hyperparathyroidism in the context of multiple endocrine neoplasia (MEN) types 1, 2A and 4; hyperparathyroidism-jaw tumour (HPT-JT); familial isolated hyperparathyroidism (FIHPT); familial hypocalciuric hypercalcaemia (FHH); neonatal severe hyperparathyroidism (NSHPT) and autosomal dominant moderate hyperparathyroidism (ADMH). This paper aims to review the controversies in the main genetic, clinical and pathological features and surgical management of hereditary hyperparathyroidism.

methodsA peer review literature analysis on hereditary hyperparathyroidism was carried out and analyzed in an evidence-based perspective. Results were discussed at the 2015 Workshop of the European Society of Endocrine Surgeons devoted to hyperparathyroidism due to multiple gland disease.

resultsLiterature reports scarcity of prospective randomized studies; thus, a low level of evidence may be achieved.

conclusionsHereditary hyperparathyroidism typically presents at an earlier age than the sporadic variants. Gene penetrance and expressivity varies. Parathyroid multiple gland involvement is common, but in some variants, it may occur metachronously often with long disease-free intervals, simulating a single-gland involvement. Bilateral neck exploration with subtotal parathyroidectomy or total parathyroidectomy + autotransplantation should be performed, especially in MEN 1, in order to decrease the persistent and recurrent hyperparathyroidism rates; in some variants (MEN 2A, HPT-JT), limited parathyroidectomy can achieve long-term normocalcemia. In FHH, surgery is contraindicated; in NSHPT, urgent total parathyroidectomy is required. In FIHPT, MEN 4 and ADMH, a tailored case-specific approach is recommended.
