Personalized parathyroid hormone therapy for hypoparathyroidism: Insights from pharmacokinetic-pharmacodynamic modelling.
Article in British journal of clinical pharmacology, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 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
aimsA 42-year-old male developed chronic primary hypoparathyroidism after total thyroidectomy. Conventional therapy led to recurrent nephrolithiasis and therefore rhPTH(1-84) (parathyroid hormone [PTH]) treatment was considered. According to the dosing guideline for PTH, calcium plasma levels are adequately controlled with once-daily administration. However, the effect on urinary calcium excretion is only transient and hence does not lower the risk of nephrolithiasis. This raises the question of whether multiple-daily or continuous administration of PTH is more effective in lowering urinary calcium excretion. We aimed to construct a pharmacokinetic-pharmacodynamic (PKPD) model to answer this question.
methodsA single patient was treated with intermittent PTH followed by off-label continuous infusion of PTH. PTH was measured in plasma, calcium and phosphate in plasma and urine. A one-compartment PKPD model for PTH was developed with Edsim++. The effect of PTH was described by the relative clearance of calcium and phosphate.
resultsThe PKPD model for PTH showed visually a marked effect on phosphate clearance, but less on calcium clearance. During the study, the patient also received medication that influenced calcium homeostasis but to a lesser extent phosphate homeostasis. Therefore, phosphate was chosen as the effect parameter, resulting in an EC50 of 6.3 pmol/L PTH.
conclusionsThe PKPD model for PTH was completed with the unique data of a single patient who received PTH according to various dosing regimens, including continuous infusion. Continuous administration of PTH is favoured because it permanently increases the phosphate clearance and therefore needs to be further investigated.
