Factors contributing to unintentional parathyroidectomy during thyroid surgery.
Article in Proceedings (Baylor University. Medical Center), 2020. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 5 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
Unintentional parathyroidectomy during thyroid surgery has an incidence ranging between 1% and 31% across institutions. Many studies have identified malignancy and central neck dissection as risk factors for losing parathyroid glands, but few studies have evaluated the impact of other factors such as lymphocytic thyroiditis, hyperthyroidism, or concomitant primary hyperparathyroidism. The purpose of this study was to investigate which factors contribute to parathyroid loss during thyroid surgery. Charts of 269 patients undergoing thyroid surgery at a tertiary care medical center from 2010 to 2013 were retrospectively reviewed. Sixty-six patients (24.5%) experienced unintentional parathyroidectomy. Bivariate analysis showed no significant differences in patient characteristics. Patients with unintentional parathyroid removal had a significantly smaller largest thyroid nodule size (
