Elevated parathyroid hormone levels after successful parathyroidectomy for primary hyperparathyroidism: a clinical review.
Review in European archives of oto-rhino-laryngology : official journal of the European Federation of Oto-Rhino-Laryngological Societies (EUFOS) : affiliated with the German Society for Oto-Rhino-Laryngology - Head and Neck Surgery, 2018. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 20 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
introductionSurgery for primary hyperparathyroidism (PHPT) is traditionally deemed to be successful if serum calcium levels return to normal 6 months after parathyroidectomy. Regular monitoring of serum calcium and parathyroid hormone (PTH) in the follow-up of patients after parathyroidectomy for PHPT has drawn attention to the presence of a normocalcemic group of patients with elevated PTH (NCePTH) during the post-operative period. The etiological factors and mechanisms underlying this condition, its consequences, and the possibility of treatment are the object of this study. MATERIALS AND
methodsWe conducted an unlimited PubMed search updated on March 31, 2017, which yielded 1628 results. We selected 37 articles, 33 of which included cases of NCePTH in their series and 23 performed statistical studies to assess factors associated with NCePTH.
resultsThe maximum mean prevalence of NCePTH in the various series was 23.5%, ranging from 3 to 46%. Many factors were associated with NCePTH. The most important were higher pre-operative PTH, low pre-operative 25 (OH) D3, lower pre-operative creatinine clearance and greater adenoma weight. The origin of NCePTH may be multifactorial, since several factors were implicated in the etiology. NCePTH does not seem to be related to an increase in PHPT recurrence, although this possibility should not be dismissed. Vitamin D deficiency should be corrected. Treatment with calcium supplements seems to be clearly beneficial.
conclusionThe prevalence of NCePTH is high. The causes of secondary hyperparathyroidism should be investigated carefully. Patients require treatment and long-term follow-up.
