Correlation between parathyroid volume and calcium and phosphorus metabolism in maintenance hemodialysis patients based on Doppler ultrasound technology.
Article in International urology and nephrology, 2025. 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
objectivesTo investigate the correlation between parathyroid glands (PTGs) volume and calcium and phosphorus metabolism in maintenance hemodialysis (MHD) patients with Doppler ultrasound.
methodsMHD patients at the Hemodialysis Center of the Third Affiliated Hospital of Zunyi Medical University from January 1, 2024, to January 31, 2024, were selected as study subjects. To investigate the correlation between the number and size of PTGs detected by bedside ultrasound and indicators of calcium and phosphorus metabolism.
resultsA total of 135 patients were included, of whom 90 had explored hyperplastic PTGs and 45 did not. Correlation analysis showed a negative correlation between ultrasound total PTGs volume and with age (r = -0.222, P = 0.035), large platelet ratio (r = -0.262, P = 0.013), and mean platelet volume (r = -0.232, P = 0.028), and a positive correlation with parathyroid hormone (iPTH) (r = 0.268, P = 0.011), corrected serum calcium (r = 0.233, P = 0.027), taking cinacalcet (r = 0.252, P = 0.0.017), sevelamer carbonate (r = 0.352, P = 0.002) and compound α-ketoacid tablets (r = 0.478, P < 0.001). Multifactorial linear regression analysis showed a positive correlation between ultrasound total PTGs volume and the correlation with age (t = -3.071, 95% CI: -0.030 ~ -0.007), albumin (t = -2.242, 95% CI: -0.115 ~ -0.008), iPTH (t = 2.748, 95% CI: 0.001 ~ 0.002), corrected serum calcium (t = 2.484, 95% CI: 0.184 ~ 1.563) showed significant linear relationships.
conclusionsA significant linear correlation was observed between PTGs volume, assessed via Doppler ultrasound, and the variables of age, albumin, iPTH, and corrected serum calcium in MHD patients. Therefore, it is essential for MHD patients to be closely monitored and have these serological indices controlled.
