Post-thyroidectomy Hypocalcemia in Patients With History of Bariatric Operations: Current Evidence and Management Options.
Synthesis in In vivo (Athens, Greece). The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 9 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
BACKGROUND/
aimBoth bariatric and thyroid surgeries promote calcium and vitamin D deficiency. The correlation, however, of hypocalcemia after thyroidectomy in patients with previous bariatric surgery has been poorly described. This review aimed to investigate the relationship between history of bariatric operations and post-thyroidectomy hypocalcemia, as well as suggested management options. MATERIALS AND
methodsMEDLINE and Cochrane databases were searched for relevant publications regarding post-thyroidectomy hypocalcemia in patients with previous bariatric surgery.
resultsA total of 17 publications reporting on 126 patients met the inclusion criteria. These included 13 publications about Roux-en-Y gastric bypass (RYGB), 2 regarding biliopancreatic diversion (BPD), 1 about sleeve gastrectomy (SG) and 1 compared three bariatric procedures: SG, RYGB, laparoscopic adjustable gastric band (LAGB). Post-thyroidectomy hypocalcemia was found to be more prevalent in patients with previous RYGB and BPD, but not in previous LAGB and SG.
conclusionPatients with previous bariatric surgery are at high risk of post-thyroidectomy hypocalcemia that sometimes leads to higher length of hospital stay and demands more invasive solutions. There is a need, however, for additional studies and further investigation in order to reach more conclusive results.
