Outcomes of bilateral axillo-breast approach robotic parathyroidectomy
Article in Annals of surgical treatment and research, 2024. 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
Purpose: Bilateral axillo-breast approach robotic parathyroidectomy (BABA-RP) aims to remove overactive or enlarged parathyroid glands with no visible neck collar incision. In this study, we compared the safety and surgical outcomes of BABA-RP Methods: This single-institution retrospective cohort study included 74 patients with primary HPT who underwent open parathyroidectomy (n = 37) or BABA-RP (n = 37) at our institution between November 2014 and March 2023. Patient demographics, biochemical cure rates, operative time, blood loss rates, and complication rates were examined and compared. Results: The patients in the BABA-RP group were younger and had a longer mean operative time. Regarding complication events, 2 patients in the open surgery group and 1 patient in the BABA-RP group had transient hypoparathyroidism. All 74 patients achieved biochemical cure at <6 months, regardless of the approach used. Two patients in the BABA-RP group and 1 patient in the open surgery group had carcinoma on surgical pathology. All 3 patients with parathyroid carcinoma remained recurrence-free at 1-year follow-up. Conclusion: Compared with the open procedure, BABA-RP is a safe and feasible procedure that provides an excellent biochemical cure rate for patients with pHPT and has superior cosmetic benefits with equivalent surgical outcomes.
