Added value of ultrasonography and Tc-99m MIBI SPECT/CT combined protocol in preoperative evaluation of parathyroid adenoma.
Article in European journal of radiology open, 2019. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. An erratum has been issued. Cited by 6 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
purposeEvaluating the diagnostic performance of combined protocol of ultrasonography and Tc-99 m MIBI SPECT/CT in preoperative depiction and localization of parathyroid adenoma. METHODS AND MATERIALS: 60 patients were enrolled in this retrospective study who had primary hyperparathyroidism and parathyroidectomy for parathyroid adenoma, all of them underwent ultrasonography examination of parathyroid gland and MIBI SPECT/CT for exact pre-operative localization of parathyroid adenoma, surgical and pathological results were used as standard reference then sensitivity, specificity and accuracy for each modalility and for combined protocol of both modalities was calculated.
resultsThe sensitivity, specificity and accuracy were highest with combined protocol of ultrasonography and MIBI-SPECT/CT (87 %), (71 %) and (85 %) respectively and lowest sensitivity, specificity and accuracy with ultrasonography alone (76 %), (63 %) and (73 %) respectively while (83 %), (66 %) and (80 %) with MIBI-SPECT/CT alone.
conclusionConcomitant use of ultrasonography and MIBI SPECT/CT is highly recommended for better preoperative depiction and localization of parathyroid adenoma.
