Does Lactation Predispose to Severe Hypocalcemia Post Total Thyroidectomy? A Case Series.
Article in Indian journal of surgical oncology, 2025. 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
Lactation as a risk factor for post-thyroidectomy hypocalcemia is not well recognised. In this series, we describe three lactating women with severe hypocalcemia, post thyroidectomy, who required intravenous calcium infusion in addition to oral calcium and calcitriol. The occurrence of severe post-op hypocalcemia in lactating women in our cohort suggests that lactation may be an unrecognised risk factor for severe post-operative hypocalcemia following thyroidectomy. Lactating mothers who undergo thyroidectomy may need aggressive treatment for hypoparathyroidism if it occurs. Also, screening and correction for pre-existing risk factors like hypomagnesemia and vitamin D deficiency may be beneficial.
