Observational study in Problemy endokrinologii, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
backgroundFor a comprehensive assessment of the effect of surgery in patients with primary hyperparathyroidism (PHPT) it sounds reasonable to evaluate quality of life (QoL) and symptoms in PHPT patients at long-term after parathyroidectomy (PTE). The purpose of this study was to study the quality of life of patients with PHPT before and at different times after PTE and to determine the factors associated with its improvement after surgery. MATERIALS AND
methodsDuring prospective observational study, patients filled out QoL questionnaires before, 3, 12, 24 months or more after surgery. Statistical analysis was performed using the Student's t-test, the Mann-Whitney U-test, χ2 criterion, the method of generalized estimating equations (GEE) and binary logistic regression. The differences were considered significant at the level of p<0.05.
resultsThe study included 82 patients (mean age 53,7 years, 95% female) with symptomatic (73%) and asymptomatic (27%) PHPT. Median follow-up duration was 20 (3-31) months. At 3 months after PTE, there was a significant increase in QoL for all scales of the generic SF-36 questionnaire, except for the pain scale, compared with their preoperative values, followed by the preservation of positive changes at long term after surgery (GEE, p<0.05). At the long term after surgery, scores for all SF-36 scales, except for role physical functioning (p=0.011), became similar with the ones in comparison group adjusted to patients by gender and age (n=60, 52.5±9.2 years, 95% were women). An independent predictor of significant improvement in QoL after PTE was the preoperative level of the mental component according to the PHPQoL questionnaire (p=0.001) - the lower its level, the greater the probability of significant improvement in QoL according to the total PHPQoL index after surgery (OR=0.924, p=0.004).
conclusionPTE is accompanied by significant improvement in QoL and regression of symptoms in patients with PHPT at long term follow-up after surgery. An independent predictor of significant QoL improvement after PTE is the preoperative level of the psychological component of QoL.
