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

Secondary hyperparathyroidism (SHPT) contributes to mineral-bone disorders, chronic inflammation, and adverse cardiometabolic outcomes in patients undergoing dialysis. Radiomics of epicardial adipose tissue (EAT) derived from computed tomography (CT) may serve as an imaging biomarker of cardiometabolic risk; however, the effect of parathyroidectomy (PTX) on EAT remodeling remains unclear. This cohort study enrolled dialysis patients with severe SHPT who underwent PTX and controls who received standard medical therapy. At baseline and 6 months, the participants underwent CT-based EAT radiomics assessment, coronary artery calcification (CAC) scoring, dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry (DEXA) for body composition and bone mineral density (BMD), and biochemical evaluation. PTX significantly decreased EAT attenuation (-69.99 ± 8.07 to -72.64 ± 5.68 HU;
