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

Parathyroid cysts are an uncommon entity. They are classified as functioning and nonfunctioning cysts. Cyst aspiration with detection of parathyroid hormone is a useful tool to confirm the diagnosis. Here, we report four cases of parathyroid cysts. One patient had a functioning cyst. Ultrasonography of the neck revealed a cystic lesion behind the left lobe of the thyroid gland in two cases and a right cystic thyroid nodule in two cases. The cysts exerted a mass effect on the adjacent structures in two cases without clinical compressive symptoms. Fine-needle aspiration with detection of parathyroid hormone in the cyst fluid was performed in one case (nonfunctioning cyst): intracystic parathyroid hormone level was high. Recurrence was noted 1 month after the cyst aspiration. All patients underwent surgical treatment. Our series is characterized by two cases of nonfunctioning intrathyroidal parathyroid cysts which are very uncommon. They are mistaken for thyroid cysts. After surgery, no recurrence was noted. We aim to describe the epidemiological, clinical, and paraclinical features of this condition as well as its therapeutic modalities.
