Impact of curative parathyroidectomy on left ventricular functions assessed with 2D ECHO and MUGA study.
Article in Turkish journal of surgery, 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
Objectives: Primary hyperparathyroidism (PHPT) is associated with increased cardiovascular morbidity and mortality with inconsistent results on the reversibility of cardiovascular changes after parathyroidectomy (PTx). The present study was undertaken to evaluate both structural and functional cardiac changes and their reversal after PTx in patients with PHPT. Material and Methods: Thirty patients of symptomatic PHPT without cardiovascular risk factors were evaluated prospectively by means of 2D echocar- diography (ECHO) and Multigated Acquisition (MUGA) study before surgery and six months after curative parahyroidectomy. Results: Nine of 30 patients had hypertension which improved in two after PTx (p 0.20). Two patients had left ventricle hypertrophy on 2D ECHO pre- operatively which improved after PTx (p <0.001). Left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) did not show significant change before and after PTx on 2D ECHO. Nine out of 30 patients had hypertension which improved in two after PTx (p 0.20). Two patients with left ventricle hypertrophy on 2D ECHO preoperatively improved after PTx (p <0.001). Left ventricular ejection fraction (EF) did not depict significant change before and after PTx on 2D ECHO. Whereas, four out of six patients with preoperative EF <50% representing systolic dysfunction on MUGA study showed improvement after PTx. On 2D ECHO, eight patients depicted diastolic dysfunction which improved in six patients after curative surgery (p= 0.07). However, on MUGA study, 13 pa- tients presented with tTPF >180 ms indicating diastolic dysfunction, of which ten showed improvement after PTx (p= 0.007). Conclusion: The present study analyzed preoperative and postoperative cardiac function using both 2D ECHO and MUGA study. MUGA study provided a more objective assessment of the cardiac function by determining left ventricular ejection fraction and diastolic dysfunction.
