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
purposeOne of the endocrine conditions that endocrinologists see the most frequently is primary hyperparathyroidism, which is brought on by a parathyroid adenoma. Minimally invasive parathyroidectomy (MIP) has become the first line of treatment for primary hyperparathyroidism due to solitary parathyroid adenoma. Surgeon-performed ultrasonography (SUS), which has been found to be extremely accurate in localizing aberrant glands, has been employed preoperatively to augment the sensitivity of high-resolution ultrasonography (hUS).
methodsTwo groups were randomly created from cases that underwent parathyroid surgery. In the first group, surgery was performed on 31 patients, taking into account the ultrasound results reported by radiology and the Technetium-99 m sestamibi scintigraphy results interpreted by the nuclear medicine clinic. In addition to the ultrasound results reported by radiology and the scintigraphy results interpreted by the nuclear medicine clinic, surgery was performed on 18 patients in the second group, that the surgeon applied ultrasound to them before the operation and separately evaluating the location of the parathyroid adenoma. Surgery time, hospital stay, pre and postoperative calcium and parathormon values were compared between the two groups.
resultsWhen groups 1 and 2 were compared in terms of surgical time and hospital stay, there was a statistically significant difference between the two groups (p < 0.05). In Group 2, the duration of operation and hospital stay was significantly shortened. There was no statistically significant difference between the groups in terms of pre- and postoperative calcium and parathormone values (p > 0.05).
conclusionsWe believe that the time required for surgery after a radiologist and surgeon performing ultrasonography is less than that required for surgery after radiologist performed ultrasonography demonstrating the efficacy of the surgery plus a radiologist and surgeon performing ultrasonography combination. We determined that the surgery time was statistically shorter in patients who underwent a radiologist and surgeon performing ultrasonography.
