Normocalcemic primary hyperparathyroidism is not associated with cardiometabolic alterations.

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
purposeCardiometabolic disorders are non-classical complications of hypercalcemic primary hyperparathyroidism (HC-PHPT), but whether this risk connotes normocalcemic PHPT (NC-PHPT) remains to be elucidated. We investigated cardiometabolic alterations in both forms of PHPT, looking for their association with indices of disease activity.
methodsPatients with HC-PHPT (n = 17), NC-PHPT (n = 17), and controls (n = 34) matched for age, sex, and BMI were assessed for glucose, lipid, blood pressure alterations, and history of cardiovascular events to perform a case-control study at an ambulatory referral center for Bone Metabolism Diseases.
resultsNC-PHPT, in comparison to controls, showed similar glucose (mean ± SD, 88 ± 11 vs 95 ± 22 mg/dl), total cholesterol (199 ± 25 vs 207 ± 36 mg/dl), and systolic blood pressure levels (SBP, 132 ± 23 vs 132 ± 19 mmHg), together with a comparable frequency of glucose alterations (6% vs 9%), lipid disorders (41% vs 50%) and hypertension (53% vs 59%, p = NS for all comparisons). Conversely, all these abnormalities were more prevalent in HC-PHPT vs controls (p < 0.05). When compared to NC-PHPT, HC-PHPT showed higher glucose (113 ± 31 mg/dl), total cholesterol (238 ± 43 mg/dl), and SBP levels (147 ± 15 mmHg) as well as an increased frequency of glucose (41%) and lipid alterations (77%) and a higher number of cardiovascular events (18% vs 0%, p < 0.05 for all comparisons). Among indices of PHPT activity, calcium levels displayed a significant correlation with glucose (R = 0.46) and SBP values (R = 0.60, p < 0.05).
conclusionNC-PHPT is not associated with cardiovascular alterations. The predominant pathogenetic role of hypercalcemia in the development of cardiometabolic disorders could account for the absence of such alterations in NC-PHPT.
