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

patient concerns and diagnosisSecondary hyperparathyroidism (SHPT) is a common complication of chronic kidney disease. Radiofrequency ablation (RFA) is a safe and minimally invasive treatment for SHPT, which can effectively reduce the level of parathyroid hormone (PTH). Inferior thyroid artery (ITA) is a rare and dangerous complication, We report two cases of ITA bleeding caused by RFA. Intraoperative contrast-enhanced ultrasound (CEUS) can accurately show the source and scope of bleeding. Ultrasound guided RFA and compression hemostasis were successful.

interventionsDuring the operation, CEUS was used to detect ITA bleeding, bleeding range and location quickly and accurately at the early stage, and ultrasound guided compression and RFA were used to treat small bleeding points. ITA bleeding was timely and effectively controlled, and the bleeding range was limited to pseudoaneurysm. OUTCOMES: The patient received antiplatelet and anticoagulant therapy for 2 days, and the pseudoaneurysm was filled with thrombus 36 hours and 72 hours after surgery. Later, the ultrasonography examination showed that the hematoma was gradually absorbed and contracted.

conclusionAlthough RFA is a safe and minimally invasive treatment for secondary hyperparathyroidism, rupture and bleeding of the ITA are rare and dangerous. CEUS can quickly and accurately judge bleeding, bleeding range and location in the early stage. Ultrasound guided compression and RFA of small ITA bleeding points can timely and effectively control bleeding, limit the bleeding range to pseudoaneurysms, and close themselves.
