Preoperative localization of parathyroid glands in secondary hyperparathyroidism: correlations between 99mTc-MIBI-SPECT/CT, ultrasound, and pathological characteristics.
Article in Clinical kidney journal, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 6 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 the association between imaging findings and histopathological characteristics of parathyroid glands in patients with secondary hyperparathyroidism (SHPT). Methods: Seventy-four glands from 21 patients with SHPT who underwent parathyroidectomy were evaluated for their pathological characteristics. The detection rates of parathyroid glands using ultrasound (US) and 99Tc-MIBI-SPECT/CT (MIBI) were compared. Glands were classified as either US-positive or US-negative, and MIBI-positive or MIBI-negative. Morphological and pathological differences between the positive and negative groups were systematically analysed. Results: The detection rates for parathyroid glands were 71% with US, 65% with MIBI, and 82% when combining both methods. US and MIBI showed similar localization accuracy in SHPT ( Conclusion: US and MIBI had similar value in preoperative localization of SHPT. Parathyroid glands with more and larger oxyphil nodules were more likely to be detected by both MIBI and US.
