Surgical outcomes of parathyroidectomy for pre-kidney transplantation versus post-kidney transplantation patients.
Article in World journal of surgery, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled it.
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
backgroundHyperparathyroidism (HPT) is common in end-stage kidney disease and resolves in less than half of kidney transplant (KT) recipients. The ideal timing of parathyroidectomy (PTX), before or after KT, remains unclear. We sought to understand differences in morbidity and mortality after PTX pre-KT and post-KT.
methodsWe identified adult patients who underwent PTX pre-KT or post-KT between 2012 and 2021 utilizing the National Surgical Quality Improvement Program database. Demographics, clinical characteristics, morbidity, and mortality were compared. Adjusted logistic regression with propensity score weighting assessed odds of 30-day composite morbidity, major adverse cardiovascular events (MACE), readmission, and mortality.
resultsWe identified 1972 patients who underwent PTX pre-KT and 541 patients who underwent PTX post-KT. Post-KT HPT patients were older (mean age 53.9 v 48.2 and p < 0.01) and more commonly White (45.3% v 32.3% and p < 0.01) and diabetic (30.0% v 18.5% and p < 0.01). In comparison, pre-KT HPT patients were more commonly Black (53.2% v 30.1%), had American Society of Anesthesiologists (ASA) class 3-4 (98.0% v 89.6% and p < 0.01), chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (4.2% v 1.5% and p < 0.01), and congestive heart failure (4.4% v 1.1% and p < 0.01). After adjusting for confounders, patients pre-KT had 1.72-fold increased odds of morbidity (95% confidence interval [CI]: 1.13-2.61), 8.39-fold increased odds of MACE (95% CI: 1.13-62.18), and 2.07-fold increased odds of readmission (95% CI: 1.38-3.10). There was no difference in mortality or risk of infections.
conclusionsPatients who underwent PTX prior to KT were at significantly increased risk for 30-day morbidity and MACE, but no different odds of mortality compared to PTX after KT. This can help inform decision-making regarding timing of PTX in patients with HPT.
