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
backgroundIn patients with primary hyperparathyroidism (PHPT) locating hyperfunctioning glands (HPGs) is crucial when planning minimally invasive surgery. Dual-isotope subtraction scintigraphy with
methodsSixty patients with newly diagnosed PHPT participated and were scanned using both methods prior to parathyroidectomy. We investigated whether sensitivities of Method A and Method B are similar in a method-to-method comparison when using surgical findings as the true location.
resultsAt the patient level, sensitivities were (A) 0.98 (95% CI: 0.90-1.00) and (B) 1.00 (95% CI: 0.93-1.00). At the gland level, sensitivities were (A) 0.88 (95% CI: 0.78-0.94) and (B) 0.87 (95% CI: 0.76-0.92). With a non-inferiority margin of ∆ = -0.1, we found a 1-sided
conclusionOur methods comparison study found that sensitivity of Method B was not inferior to Method A. We suggest that
