A retrospective review of the role of B-mode and color Doppler ultrasonography in the investigation of primary hyperparathyroidism: Features that differentiate benign from malignant lesions.

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
purposeTo identify the variant features encountered in parathyroid abnormalities and document those suggesting malignant change. MATERIALS AND
methodsData were collected from a cohort of patients who underwent investigation for primary hyperparathyroidism over a 10-year period. Ultrasonographic features: shape, presence of calcification, cystic changes, heterogeneous echogenicity, vascularity, capsular thickening, local invasion, and vascularity were reviewed retrospectively and were used to correlate with final histological findings.
resultsOne hundred forty-seven patients with histology and concurrent ultrasonographic scans were reviewed, and divided into benign parathyroid lesions (nodular hyperplasia (
conclusionUltrasonographic features such as irregular shape, heterogeneous echogenicity, cystic change, and vascularity are nondiscriminatory features between benign or malignant lesions. Large lesion size together with the presence of calcification, capsular thickening, or infiltrative margin strongly raises the suspicion of a malignant parathyroid lesion, and management should be altered.
