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

contextPrimary hyperparathyroidism (PHPT), characterized by the inappropriate secretion of parathyroid hormone (PTH) with respect to the extracellular calcium concentration. Curative treatment of PHPT is surgery and bilateral neck exploration has been replaced by minimally invasive parathyroidectomy (MIP), with the advanced imaging technologies combined with radio-guided occult lesion localization (ROLL).

objectivesThe present study analyzes the MIP data from 45 patients who underwent surgery for parathyroid adenoma and debates if MIP is a feasible technique for the treatment of PHPT.

designThe study presents the MIP excision data of 45 hyperparathyroidism patients with a 58-month follow up period.

resultsForty-five operations were performed for 48 parathyroid adenomas. The mean duration of operation was 22.7 (12-55) minutes. Mean follow-up was 14.2 (6-26) months. All patients had normal postoperative calcium levels and PTH levels were normal in the follow-up period, except for one persistent hyperparathyroidism.

conclusionsROLL-guided MIP is a feasible technique for parathyroid surgery and reduces surgeon based failure. It also provides the widespread application of parathyroid surgery by decreasing the need for specific experience.
