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

introductionEndoscopically assisted surgery for parathyroid tumors has provided excellent cosmetic results and has been covered by Japan's national insurance system since 2016. However, careful handling is essential because parathyroid tumor cells can easily disseminate. CASE PRESENTATION: We herein report the case of a 34-year-old woman who developed widespread dissemination of parathyroid carcinoma after endoscopic resection. She initially underwent endoscopically assisted left thyroid lobectomy for an intrathyroidal parathyroid tumor, which was later diagnosed as a carcinoma. Four years later, multiple cervical recurrences and pulmonary metastases were observed. Extensive cervical tumor resection was performed, including

conclusionsThis case highlights the risk of tumor cell dissemination in parathyroid surgery when capsular integrity is compromised. While this risk exists regardless of the surgical approach, certain technical factors associated with endoscopically assisted procedures may increase the likelihood of inadvertent capsular injury.
