Evaluation of clinical significance and risk factors of incidental parathyroidectomy due to thyroidectomy: A single-center retrospective clinical study.
Article in Medicine, 2017. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 13 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
We assessed the clinical significance and risk factors of incidental parathyroidectomy during total thyroidectomy with or without central neck dissection or subtotal thyroidectomy.Retrospective analysis of clinical and pathological features of 548 consecutive thyroidectomy cases was compared by grouping into inadvertent resection (IR, n = 86) with IR of parathyroid glands, non-IR (n = 462) without, and then into postoperative hypoparathyroidism (PH, n = 140) with PH and non-PH (n = 408) without.Two hundred ninety-eight patients had total thyroidectomy and 250 had subtotal thyroidectomy. IR had higher malignant disease (P < .001), total thyroidectomy (P = .016), T3 and T4 classification (P = .005), central neck dissection (P < .001), recurrent laryngeal nerve palsy (P = .003), postoperative transient hypoparathyroidism (P < .001), duration of disease prior to thyroidectomy (P < .001), and weight of excised thyroid tissue (P < .001) than non-IR.Preoperative diagnosis of malignant disease, duration of disease prior to thyroidectomy, and central neck dissection were independent risk factors for incidental parathyroidectomy. Preoperative diagnosis of malignant disease, central neck dissection, duration of disease prior to thyroidectomy, weight of excised thyroid tissue, and incidental parathyroidectomy were correlated with PH.
