Evaluation of malnutrition and inflammation after total parathyroidectomy in patients on maintenance dialysis.
Article in International urology and nephrology, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 papers.
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
purposeTo evaluate the effect of total parathyroidectomy (tPTx) on malnutrition and inflammation in patients on maintenance dialysis (MHD) having secondary hyperparathyroidism (SHPT).
methodsTwenty-five patients on MHD having SHPT who were being treated with tPTx were selected, and changes in their general condition (dry body mass), parathyroid hormone (PTH) and calcium levels, nutrition state (hemoglobin, hematocrit, serum albumin, and total iron binding capacity), and inflammatory status [serum C-reactive protein (CRP), interleukin-6 (IL-6), tumor necrosis factor (TNF-α), and the malnutrition-inflammation score (MIS)] were observed at 12, 24, and 36 months postoperatively.
resultsCompared with the preoperative period, the dry body mass increased at 12, 24, and 36 months postoperatively (P < 0.01), hemoglobin, hematocrit, and serum albumin increased significantly (P < 0.01), whereas calcium, phosphorus, and PTH levels decreased significantly (P < 0.01). Serum CRP, IL-6, and TNF-α levels were significantly decreased at 12, 24, and 36 months after surgery (P < 0.01). Furthermore, MIS was reduced as well but to a lesser extent (P < 0.01).
conclusiontPTx effectively reduced MIS in maintenance dialysis patients, and the alleviated malnutrition and improved inflammatory status may contributed to improving the quality of life of patients on MHD with SHPT.
