Interventional Radiology in the Management of Parathyroid Disorders: Current Diagnostic and Therapeutic Approaches.
Review in Journal of clinical medicine, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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
This narrative review evaluates the current role of interventional radiology in the diagnosis and treatment of parathyroid disorders. In patients with biochemically confirmed hyperparathyroidism but inconclusive or discordant preoperative localization imaging, image-guided interventions can help establish a diagnosis that can alter management. This review outlines the current diagnostic and therapeutic modalities for the study of parathyroid pathology from the interventional radiologist's perspective, highlighting novel techniques and their growing clinical adoption. The combination of ultrasound-guided fine-needle aspiration biopsy and measurement of parathyroid hormone (PTH) in the needle washout fluid can improve diagnostic specificity by providing biochemical evidence of parathyroid tissue. This is particularly useful for lesions that are difficult to differentiate from thyroid nodules or cervical lymph nodes based solely on imaging characteristics. Despite this, no widely accepted cut-off washout PTH level has yet been established. Due to the differences in assay techniques and laboratory procedures, results should be interpreted in conjunction with clinical findings and concomitant biochemical parameters. Ultrasound-guided thermal ablation techniques, especially radiofrequency and microwave ablation, have recently been reported as minimally invasive alternatives or adjuvants to surgery in appropriately selected patients. Evidence supporting parathyroid embolization is limited, but it may be considered a potential salvage option for persistent or recurrent disease. Given that most of the current evidence is derived from retrospective case series, multicenter prospective studies for technical standardization and long-term outcomes evaluation are clearly needed.
