The role of anatomical and functional orientation in identification of parathyroid glands for patients with parathyroidectomy.
Article in Frontiers in endocrinology, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 7 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
Objective: To investigate diagnostic approaches for preoperative localization of secondary hyperparathyroidism, as well as to give surgeons with precise parathyroid gland localization and imaging so that surgery can be performed safely. Methods: The clinical data of 710 patients with secondary hyperparathyroidism who underwent surgery in our center from October 2009 to October 2023 were retrospectively analyzed. The changes in calcium, phosphorus, and parathyroid hormone levels were observed to ascertain the anatomical location and number of parathyroid glands. Results: Among the 710 patients, 55 underwent total parathyroidectomy, the others underwent total parathyroidectomy with autotransplantation. In total, 2,658 parathyroid glands were removed, with 43 glands being removed in 35 reoperation cases. The median parathyroid hormone level at 6 months postoperatively was 13.40 (interquartile range, 7.00-29.80) pg/mL. The detection rates of the parathyroid glands before first and repeat surgeries were higher using Conclusion:
