Preoperative localization of single gland disease in primary hyperparathyroidism: a comparative study for preoperative localization with four-dimensional computed tomography, ultrasonography, and technetium-99m-sestamibi single-photon emission computed tomography.

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
Background: Treatment guidelines for primary hyperparathyroidism (PHPT) recommend high-resolution neck ultrasonography (US), technetium-99m-sestamibi single-photon emission computed tomography ( Methods: A retrospective medical chart review was performed on 41 patients who underwent surgery for single gland disease at the Department of Otorhinolaryngology, Pusan National University Hospital, between January 2021 and March 2023. All the patients underwent preoperative US, Results: The sensitivity, specificity, and accuracy of the imaging modalities were as follows: 4D CT, 95.1%, 98.4%, and 97.6%; US, 82.9%, 95.1%, and 92.1%; and Conclusions: In the preoperative localization of abnormal parathyroid lesions, 4D CT demonstrated higher sensitivity and specificity than US and
