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

objectiveTo explore a new identification and protection method of the parathyroid gland in reoperation for thyroid diseases.

method54 patients receiving reoperation for thyroid diseases were selected. The experiment group intraoperatively adopted carbon nanoparticles suspension for negative development of the parathyroid gland, whereas the control group did not use carbon nanoparticles suspension.

resultsAt 48 h after surgery, the parathyroid hormone level was lower than the normal state in 9 patients (33.30%) of the control group and 1 patient (3.70%) of the experiment group; meanwhile, 6 months after surgery, 8 patients of the control group (29.63%) and 1 patient of the experiment group (3.70%) showed a lower level than the normal state with statistical differences. The serum calcium level in 10 patients of the control group (37.04%) and 2 patients of the experiment group (7.41%) was lower than the normal state at 48 h after surgery, while a lower level than the normal state was also shown in 8 patients of the control group (29.63%) and 1 patient of the experiment group (3.70%) 6 months after surgery with statistically significant between the two groups. A total of 10 (37.04%) and 1 parathyroid gland (3.70%) were detected with a statistical difference in both groups.

conclusionBy adopting carbon nanoparticles in reoperation for the thyroid diseases and negative development of the parathyroid gland for identification and protection of the parathyroid gland, the incidence of hypoparathyroidism is reduced effectively, thus improving the postoperative quality of life of the patients.
