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
objectivePrimary hyperparathyroidism is considered the third most common endocrine disorder. Moreover, persistently elevated levels of parathyroid hormone occur in up to 30% of patients undergoing parathyroidectomy. The aim of this study was to determine the prevalence of persistently elevated parathyroid hormone levels after parathyroidectomy and analyze its associated factors.
methodsAn anonymized medical record query was conducted, filtering patients who underwent parathyroidectomy at a tertiary hospital center in Southern Brazil from 2010 to 2019. Clinical, laboratory, and sociodemographic data were collected. The analyzed period ranged from 3 months prior to surgery and up to 18 months after surgery.
resultsA total of 261 patients with an average age of 56 (45-65) years and a body mass index of 25.53 (22.19-28.86) kg/m2 were included. Patients with normal parathyroid hormone levels after 18 months of surgery were compared to those with high parathyroid hormone levels in the same period. The latter had lower levels of median parathyroid hormone, minimum achieved parathyroid hormone, and higher values of vitamin D. The two groups showed no difference in terms of age, body mass index, parathyroid hormone before parathyroidectomy, calcium before and after parathyroidectomy, and glomerular filtration rate. The multivariate linear regression model showed a negative association between body mass index, glomerular filtration rate, and total calcium after parathyroidectomy with parathyroid hormone variation. Patients with reduced glomerular filtration rate had higher levels of parathyroid hormone before parathyroidectomy, with no significant difference after the procedure between glomerular filtration rate groups.
conclusionPersistently elevated levels of parathyroid hormone occurred in more than half of the patients subjected to parathyroidectomy. The observed variation in parathyroid hormone was significantly higher in patients with reduced glomerular filtration rate.
