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

purposeThe improved access and affordability of next generation sequencing has facilitated the clinical use of gene panel testing to test concurrently patients for multiple heritable hyperparathyroidism syndromes. However, there is little guidance as to which patients should be selected for gene panel testing and which genes should be included in such panels. In this review, we provide a practical approach to considering, interpreting and managing genetic testing for familial primary hyperparathyroidism (PHPT) syndromes and familial hypocalciuric hypercalcaemia (FHH) in patients with PTH-dependent hypercalcaemia. We discuss known genes implicated in PHPT and FHH, testing criteria and yields, pre-test counselling, laboratory considerations, and post-test management.

methodsIn addition to reviewing the literature, we conducted audits of local genetic testing data to examine the real-world yield of genetic testing in patients with PTH-dependent hypercalcaemia.

resultsOur local audits revealed a positive genetic testing rate of 15-26% in patients with suspected hyperparathyroidism syndromes.

conclusionBased on the particular testing criteria met, affected patients should be tested for variants in the genes currently implicated in PHPT (MEN1, CDC73, RET, CDKN1B, GCM2, CASR) and/or FHH (CASR, GNA11, AP2S1). Patients should be provided with pre- and post-test counselling, including consideration of potential implications for family members.
