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
objectivesPrimary hyperparathyroidism (pHPT) is a common disease, and its curative treatment is surgical. Nowadays, preoperative localization studies have become standard before surgical treatment, and the first stage imaging methods are ultrasonography and/or scintigraphy. With the contribution of these studies to the localization of the pathological gland, focused surgery has become the first standard of choice. In this study, we aimed to evaluate the efficacy of ultrasonography and scintigraphy in the preoperative localization of the pathologic gland or glands in patients who underwent surgical treatment and cure for pHPT.
methodsIn this study; the data of the biochemically diagnosed pHPT patients, who had Tc 99m-MIBI scintigraphy and/or ultrasonography for localisation preoperatively, were evaluated retrospectively. The lesion, which was positive in USG or scintigraphy for localization, was evaluated according to the neck side or neck quadrant, and the results were compared with intraoperative localization findings. The effectiveness of both methods and combinations was evaluated with the localization rates, sensitivity and positive predictive values (PPV). The three methods were compared with the Youden index (J).
resultsThe mean age of 380 patients included in this study was 54.8±12.8 years (20-83). Three hundred eight of them were female, and 72 were male. Scintigraphy was performed in 339 patients, USG was performed in 344 patients, and both USG and scintigraphy were performed in 306 patients. One hundred twenty patients (32%) underwent bilateral neck exploration (BNE), and 260 patients (68.4%) underwent minimally invasive parathyroidectomy (MIP) (unilateral exploration or focused surgery). Single adenoma was detected in 358 (94%), double adenoma in 10 (3%) and hyperplasia in 12 (3%) patients.Localization rates of USG, scintigraphy, USG and scintigraphy combinations were 53%, 74%, 75%; their sensitivity was 56%, 85%, 89%; PPDs were 90%, 86%, 83%. The efficiency of scintigraphy is higher than USG (J: 0.743 vs 0.527). The contribution of scintigraphy to USG in combination with USG was limited (J: 0.743 vs 0.754).The localization rates of USG, scintigraphy, USG and scintigraphy combinations were 46%, 64%, 66%; their sensitivity was 51%, 83%, 88%; PPDs were 79%, 74%, 73%. The efficiency of scintigraphy is higher than that of USG (J: 0.64 vs 0.427). The contribution of scintigraphy to USG in combination with USG was limited (J: 0.64 vs 0.66).
conclusionIn patients with pHPT, scintigraphy is a more effective method for USG as the first step preoperative imaging and should be preferred as the first method if there is no contraindication. A combination of scintigraphy with USG may contribute minimally to the efficacy of scintigraphy. It may be advantageous for early detection of the pathologic gland in patients with incompatible two imaging and initiating surgery on the positive side of the first scintigraphy. Scintigraphy and USG methods may allow successful MRP surgery in the majority of patients with pHPT.
