Intact and bioactive PTH values are strongly correlated in kidney transplant recipients.

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
objectiveThis study aims to evaluate the correlation between parathyroid hormone measured by a second-generation assay (PTHG2) and by a third-generation assay (PTHG3), and their association with mineral and bone disorder (MBD) biochemical parameters and radiographic vascular calcification score in kidney transplant recipients (KTRs). MATERIALS AND
methodsWe evaluated 87 KTRs and measured PTHG2, PTHG3, biochemical profile, urinary fractional excretion of calcium (FE Ca) and phosphate, 25(OH)D3, and Kauppila score for vascular calcification. Statistical analysis: Non-parametric tests and logistic regression analysis were performed. The significance level was set to 5%.
resultsIn our population, the mean age was 54 years, the mean time after transplantation was 9.4 years (± 7.6), and the mean estimated glomerular filtration rate (GFR, calculated using the Chronic Kidney Disease Epidemiology Collaboration equation - CKD-EPI) was 59.1 mL/min/1.73 m2. The correlation between PTHG2 and PTHG3 was almost perfect (r = 0.99; 95% CI = 0.98-0.99) and there was no significant difference between the PTHG2/PTHG3 ratio from different KTR-CKD stages. Investigating the association among PTH and the MBD biochemical profile, there was only correlation between PTH and FE Ca (p-value 0.01).
conclusionWe concluded that there is no advantage in PTHG3 dosage over PTHG2 measurement in this population.
