1 · What the graph read from it

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.

2 · The registry

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

Primary hyperparathyroidism (PHPT) during pregnancy is rare, causing severe pregnancy complications. We report a pregnant woman with PHPT and a pregnancy complication history who underwent a single-gland parathyroidectomy during the second trimester and delivered at term. A 28-year-old pregnant woman, gravida 3, para 2, was referred to our hospital at 9 gestational weeks (GWs) because of previous intrauterine fetal death, preterm birth, and fetal growth restriction. She was diagnosed with PHPT during her second pregnancy, and her baby experienced neonatal hypocalcemia. However, she received no PHPT treatment afterward. Laboratory tests and neck ultrasound revealed hyperparathyroidism and an enlarged right superior parathyroid gland. She underwent a right superior parathyroidectomy at 24 GWs. She delivered a 2,136 g (-1.74 SD) healthy female infant at 37 GWs, and her baby demonstrated no neonatal hypocalcemia. Parathyroidectomy, even during pregnancy, should be considered among pregnant women with PHPT having a pregnancy or neonatal complication history.
