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 46-year-old woman presented with hypertension and renal disease. Investigations showed severe hypercalcaemia due to primary hyperparathyroidism. Imaging demonstrated renal calculi and an incidental left adrenal lesion. Additional biochemistry confirmed adrenocorticotropic hormone-independent hypercortisolism. Ultrasound and sestamibi scan found an enlarged right-sided parathyroid gland and a suspicious right thyroid nodule, biopsy of which suggested papillary carcinoma. The right parathyroid mass, right thyroid lobe and right central compartment tissue along with a segment of the right recurrent laryngeal nerve was resected
