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

Primary hyperparathyroidism is not commonly diagnosed during pregnancy. For pregnant women with mild, asymptomatic disease, surgery can be avoided unless the degree of hypercalcemia becomes more severe or they develop complications. However, there are no evidence-based guidelines to assist clinicians regarding the management of primary hyperparathyroidism during pregnancy. When surgery is deemed necessary during pregnancy, the second trimester is generally considered to be the optimal time. We report the case of a 31-year-old female G1P0 who presented at 6 weeks gestation with symptoms of nausea, vomiting, polyuria, and corrected calcium of 14.8 mg/dL. Due to the extreme degree of hypercalcemia and refractory to medical treatment, it was decided that surgery could not be delayed until the second trimester. At 7w3d gestational age the patient had resection of a 37 gram, 5 × 4 × 3 cm right inferior parathyroid adenoma.
