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

Background: Primary hyperparathyroidism (PHPT) and familial hypocalciuric hypercalcaemia (FHH) are common causes of hypercalcaemia. Patients are mostly asymptomatic in the case of FHH and often so in the case of PHPT. In addition, biochemical parameters show considerable overlap, making differential diagnosis difficult. Genetic screening for inactivating variants in the calcium-sensing receptor ( Conclusion: This study shows the importance of examining patient's family history in providing clues to the diagnosis in isolated cases of hypercalcaemia. In this case, history of a sister's unsuccessful parathyroidectomy prompted genetic screening in a patient who might otherwise have undergone inappropriate parathyroid surgery. Screening detected an inactivating
