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) is a frequent endocrine disorder, with surgery as the only curative option. Despite evolving guidelines, real-life management remains variable across centers. A national survey was conducted among members of the Italian Society of Endocrine Surgery (SIUEC) to evaluate current practices in PHPT surgery, including the use of minimally invasive approaches and intraoperative parathyroid hormone (ioPTH) monitoring. Eighty-eight endocrine surgeons participated. Minimally invasive parathyroidectomy was the preferred approach, especially among high-volume surgeons. ioPTH was used by 83% of respondents, although its necessity in cases with concordant imaging was debated. Cervical ultrasound and
