Essentials for parathyroid imaging and intervention: what radiologists need to know.
Article in Ultrasonography (Seoul, Korea), 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 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
The parathyroid glands play a key role in maintaining calcium-phosphate homeostasis by secreting parathyroid hormone (PTH). Hyperparathyroidism, characterized by the inappropriate overproduction of PTH, is classified as primary, secondary, or tertiary according to its pathophysiology. Although diagnosis is principally biochemical, imaging is essential for accurately localizing hyperfunctioning glands. Precise localization allows for focused minimally invasive surgery, reduces the risk of persistent or recurrent disease, and avoids unnecessary bilateral neck exploration. Current techniques include high-resolution ultrasonography, 99mTc-sestamibi scintigraphy with single-photon emission computed tomography/computed tomography (CT), four-dimensional CT, magnetic resonance imaging, and positron emission tomography/CT with tracers such as 18F-fluorocholine. Parathyroidectomy remains the mainstay of treatment; however, recent advances in thermal ablation have expanded treatment options for patients unsuitable for surgery.
