Association of Major Depressive Disorder in Hyperparathyroidism: A Systematic Review.
Review in Cureus, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 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
Major depressive disorder (MDD) is a common neuropsychiatry manifestation that is more prevalent lately. Many contributing factors are present (for example, neurochemical, physiological, pathophysiological, and endocrinological factors). Patients with increased serum parathyroid levels are usually linked to psychosis symptoms but not to depressive symptoms. We conducted this systematic review to explore a correlation between depressive disorder and increased serum parathyroid levels, a major endocrinological pathology, and help establish mental wellness in patients suffering from hyperparathyroidism. We conducted a thorough literature search using five major databases, MEDLINE, PubMed, PubMed Central (PMC), ScienceDirect, and Google Scholar, using three keywords-MDD, depression, and hyperparathyroidism. We included mixed method studies, including observational studies, non-randomized controlled trials, case reports, and review articles published in the last ten years, focusing on the adult and geriatric population (>18 years) and on depressive and anxiety symptoms associated with patients with hyperparathyroidism. We included 11 articles (seven observational studies + four case reports) for qualitative synthesis after screening the literature. The reviewed studies showed an association between high serum parathyroid level, high serum calcium level, high serum alkaline phosphatase level, low serum phosphorous level, and increased depressive neurocognitive symptoms. After a patient with hyperparathyroidism is treated for hypercalcemia or undergoes parathyroidectomy and the serum parathyroid levels are lowered, a decrease in severe depressive symptoms is noted. The qualitative analysis of the reviewed literature showed an association between major depressive disorder and hyperparathyroidism. This paper can guide clinicians to assess patients with increased serum parathyroid levels for depressive neuropsychiatric symptoms and plan treatment, as treatment of their hyperparathyroidism can significantly lower their depressive symptoms. More randomized controlled trials should be conducted to find the treatment effectiveness of depression in patients with hyperparathyroidism.
