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 (PHP) is the third most common endocrine disorder. We report the case of a 28-year-old woman who experienced general weakness, hyperemesis gravidarum and hypercalcemia at 11 weeks of gestation. Corresponding to hypercalcemia, we found inappropriately elevated parathyroid hormone levels. Through neck computed tomography a solitary adenoma of the parathyroid gland, measuring 6 × 2.9 × 11 mm has been documented. An ultrasound-guided fine needle aspiration from the mass confirmed the suspicious of a benign tumor. Left superior parathyroidectomy resulted in immediate and permanent resolution of hypercalcemia. The postoperative course was uneventful. Histopathological and immunohistochemical analyses were consistent with parathyroid adenoma. The diagnostic approach to hypercalcemia in pregnancy represents a challenge for multidisciplinary teamwork.
