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

purposePrimary hyperparathyroidism (PHPT) is a frequent endocrine pathology that has surgical treatment as its only decisive measure. High-Resolution Neck Ultrasonography with color-Doppler (CDHR-NUS) and

methods136 patients operated on for PHPT and underwent CDHR-NUS and

resultsPHPT is prevalently due to monoglandular pathology (SGD). The parallel use of CDHR-NUS and of

conclusionsCDHR-NUS is an accurate as well as cost-effective method; its role as a main and eventual unique preoperative localization method in patients affected by PHPT is confirmed. In the presence of expert medical sonographers, the sequential use of the two methods is retained correct and their use in parallel is neither justified nor cost-effective. The preoperative accordance evaluation between the two methods is neither necessary nor indispensable.
