Natural Course of Neuropsychological Functions in Chronic Non-Surgical Hypoparathyroidism on Conventional Therapy: 12 Years of Follow-Up.
Observational study in Calcified tissue international, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
purposeNeuropsychological manifestations are common in chronic hypoparathyroidism (cHypoPT). Here, we report the change in cognitive and neuropsychiatric functions in cHypoPT during long-term follow-up.
designObservational-cohort study.
methodsFifty-four patients with non-surgical idiopathic cHypoPT (M: F = 24:30, age = 47.8 ± 14.0 years, duration of hypoparathyroidism = 24.5 ± 7.7 years), who were evaluated for cognitive, neuropsychiatric function, and quality of life in 2011-12, were re-evaluated in 2023-24 using the same battery of tests. Change in intracranial calcification was compared with previous computed tomography scans. Multivariable regression was used to assess association of change in cognitive and neuropsychiatric function with sex, age, body mass index (BMI), sites of intracranial calcification, and time weighted estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR), serum total calcium, phosphate, their product, and ratio.
resultsThe mean global cognitive dysfunction score increased during follow-up (4.04 ± 2.56 to 5.69 ± 2.10, p < 0.001). Motor speed and fine control, memory, trail-making test, Bender-Gestalt test, and quality of life showed significant deterioration. Deterioration in cognition was associated with increased age (p < 0.001). Neuropsychiatric assessment showed significant improvement in somatic concerns, anxiety, tension, and hostility. Male patient, increasing age, and higher BMI showed significant association with improvement in neuropsychiatric function. However, duration of illness and lower eGFR were associated with neuropsychiatric deterioration (p = 0.003 and 0.035). Changes in intracranial-calcification and biochemical control showed no significant association with cognitive and neuropsychiatric functions.
conclusionsHypoparathyroid patients showed a significant decline in cognitive function during follow-up. However, neuropsychiatric function improved during follow-up, more so in males, in older individuals and in those with a higher BMI. Deteriorating cognition could affect the earning and compliance with treatment. Further studies assessing the role of behavioral/drug therapy would be helpful in cHypoPT.
