Surgery for primary hyperparathyroidism in Germany, Switzerland, and Austria: an analysis of data from the EUROCRINE registry.
Article in Langenbeck's archives of surgery, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 4 papers.
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
purposeEUROCRINE is an endocrine surgical register documenting diagnostic processes, indication for surgical treatment, surgical procedures, and outcomes. The purpose was to analyse data for PHPT in German speaking countries regarding differences in clinical presentation, diagnostic workup, and treatment.
methodsAll operations for PHPT performed from 07/2015 to 12/2019 were analysed.
resultsThree thousand two hundred ninety-one patients in Germany (9 centres; 1762 patients), Switzerland (16 centres; 971 patients) and Austria (5 centres; 558 patients) were analysed. Hereditary disease was seen in 36 patients in Germany, 16 patients in Switzerland and 8 patients in Austria. In sporadic disease before primary operation, PET-CT showed the highest sensitivity in all countries. In re-operations, CT and PET-CT achieved the highest sensitivities. The highest sensitivity of IOPTH was seen in Austria (98.1%), followed by Germany (96.4%) and Switzerland (91.3%). Operation methods and mean operative time reached statistical significance (p<0.05). Complication rates are low. Overall, 656 (19.9%) patients were asymptomatic; the remainder showed bone manifestations, kidney stones, fatigue and/or neuropsychiatric symptoms.
conclusionEarly postoperative normocalcaemia ranged between 96.8 and 97.1%. Complication rates are low. PET-CT had the highest sensitivity in all three countries in patients undergoing primary operation as well as in Switzerland and Austria in patients undergoing re-operation. PET-CT could be considered a first-line preoperative imaging modality in patients with inconclusive ultrasound examination. The EUROCRINE registry is a beneficial and comprehensive data source for outcome analysis of endocrine procedures on a supranational level.
