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

backgroundHungry bone syndrome (HBS) following parathyroidectomy is associated with severe hypocalcemia and increased morbidity. This study aims to determine the incidence and risk factors of post-parathyroidectomy HBS in dialysis patients with secondary hyperparathyroidism (SHPT).

methodsA retrospective cohort study was conducted, and medical records of patients with SHPT requiring parathyroidectomy between January 2014 and January 2020 were reviewed. HBS was defined as the requirement of intravenous calcium administration due to hypocalcemia-related symptoms and/or reductions in serum calcium concentration (<8.4 mg/dL) within 72 h after parathyroidectomy.

resultsA total of 130 dialysis patients were enrolled. The majority of patients (85.4%) received hemodialysis and the remaining patients (14.6%) received peritoneal dialysis. Ectopic parathyroid glands were identified in 6.6% of patients by preoperative parathyroid scintigraphy. Diffuse parathyroid hyperplasia was the most common histopathological characteristic of SHPT (90.8%). HBS occurred in 82.3% of patients following parathyroidectomy. Preoperative serum intact parathyroid hormone (iPTH) concentration was significantly correlated with serum calcium (

conclusionsPost-parathyroidectomy HBS is common in dialysis patients with SHPT. Young age, high preoperative serum ALP and iPTH, and low preoperative serum calcium concentrations were important risk factors for HBS.
