Intraoperative parathormone increase after focused parathyroidectomy in a patient with sarcoidosis - Case report.
Article in Annals of medicine and surgery (2012), 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
introductionHypercalcaemia is most commonly a sign of primary hyperparathyroidism but can also be a sign of an active granulomatous disease. Standard treatment for primary hyperparathyroidism caused by a solitary parathyroid gland adenoma identified by localisation studies is minimally invasive focused parathyroidectomy. If unsuccessful, bilateral neck exploration is recommended. CASE PRESENTATION: We report the case of hypercalcaemia and ostheoporosis in a 63-year -old woman with a history of sarcoidosis and suspected primary hyperparathyroidism. Localisation studies for parathyroid adenoma were inconclusive due to active cervical and mediastinal granulomatous lymph nodes. Sarcoidosis was treated with corticosteroids but hypercalcaemia persisted. Focused parathyroidectomy was attempted with intraoperative parathyroid hormone measurement but an increase in parathyroid hormone levels was observed. However, with high clinical probability of a successfully removed adenoma and frozen section evaluation, we decided not to proceed with bilateral neck exploration. Serum parathyroid hormone and calcium levels dropped accordingly the following day. CLINICAL DISCUSSION: We explored all possible underlying mechanisms for persistent elevated parathyroid hormone level described in literature.
conclusionWe conclude that Wisconsin Criteria with intraoperative parathyroid hormone measured 20 minutes after adenoma removal should be applied in such cases.
