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

backgroundWhen medical therapy is unable to achieve biochemical control of secondary hyperparathyroidism, parathyroidectomy (PTX) is indicated, fortunately in a minority of patients. Thus, data on PTX prevalence and biochemical control are limited and, in particular in Italy, date back to 1999.

methodsWe designed a prospective, observational and multicenter study to collect data from dialysis units distributed throughout the Italian regions. Clinical data were collected with a dedicated data sheet.

resultsFrom January to December 2010, 149 Centers serving a total of 12,515 patients provided data on 528 living PTX cases (PTX prevalence = 4.2%). Prevalence was higher in hemo- than in peritoneal dialysis (4.5 vs. 1.9%, X

conclusionPTX prevalence in Italy is stable compared to previous observations, is higher in hemodialysis than in peritoneal dialysis and results in a suboptimal biochemical control.
