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

A 52-year-old woman presented with a complaint of neck swelling. The patient showed signs of hyperparathyroidism: hypercalcemia, and hypophosphatemia. Tc-99m MIBI dual-phase parathyroid scintigraphy and SPECT revealed increased activity in a regular-bordered, “doughnut”-shaped mass on the left side of the thyroid gland with a central hypoactive area. The cervical ultrasound identified a mixed echoic thyroid nodule with a central large cystic portion, and no parathyroid gland abnormality. Total thyroidectomy and parathyroid exploration was performed. Pathological evaluation of the resected thyroid specimen reported a giant intra-thyroidal hemorrhagic parathyroid adenoma.
