Article in Nuclear medicine and molecular imaging, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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
purpose
methodsRetrospectively evaluated 50 patients who received parathyroidectomy after KT at a single medical center. The parathyroid lesion with the highest sestamibi uptake intensity of a patient was graded from 0 to 3. Uptake intensity was analyzed in correlation with parathyroid hormone (PTH), calcium, ionized calcium, phosphorus, and vitamin D.
resultsPer-patient analysis, 43 patients had hyperplasia, 6 patients had adenomas, and 1 patient had a carcinoma. Only 3 patients with hyperplasia did not demonstrate any sestamibi uptake in the parathyroid scans. Out of the 148 pathologically confirmed parathyroid lesions, SPECT/CT images were able to identify 89 lesions (60%) and planar images of 71 lesions (48%). The average of sestamibi uptake intensity was mild at grade 1.6. Uptake intensity showed a positive correlation with parathyroid hormone (PTH) level but not with phosphorus, calcium, ionized calcium, or vitamin D levels. The largest lesion showed a high positive predictive value, especially in lesions with a diameter over 1.0 cm.
conclusionsRegardless of relatively low and less discrete uptake in KT patients, it well depicts the largest and the most hyperfunctioning lesion.
