Outcomes of minimally invasive parathyroidectomy in pediatric patients with primary hyperparathyroidism owing to parathyroid adenoma: A single institution experience.
Article in Journal of pediatric surgery, 2017. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 12 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
backgroundGuidelines for treatment of primary hyperparathyroidism (PHPT) in young patients recommend surgery. Outcomes of minimally invasive parathyroidectomy (MIP) are well established in adults, but not in pediatric patients.
objectiveThe objective of the study is to determine effectiveness of preoperative imaging and MIP aided by intraoperative PTH (ioPTH) measurement in children with primary hyperparathyroidism (PHPT). METHODS AND
designThis is a retrospective chart review of diagnostic and follow-up data up to 12months post-MIP of patients with PHPT who underwent parathyroidectomy at the Children's Hospital of Philadelphia between January 1, 2009 and March 31, 2015.
resultsData were available for 16 of 17 patients age 8-17years (11 females, 6 males): 2 had ectopic intrathymic adenomas while 14 had eutopic adenomas. Fifteen patients had ioPTH, including 14 who underwent MIP, defined as a 2cm central neck incision. All patients with data at 6months postparathyroidectomy (13/16) showed normal PTH and calcium. Ultrasound and sestamibi scans had a combined sensitivity of 87.5%.
conclusionsMIP is an appropriate alternative to standard neck exploration in pediatric patients with PHPT with a single parathyroid adenoma. ioPTH is especially useful to confirm cure and limit surgical exploration when imaging studies are negative. Sestamibi scans and ultrasound are complementary studies.
