Total Parathyroidectomy With Brachialis Muscle Autotransplantation in a Renal Transplant Recipient With Tertiary Hyperparathyroidism: A Case Report.
Article in Cureus, 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
Tertiary hyperparathyroidism (THPT) is a complication of long-standing secondary hyperparathyroidism (SHPT) in patients with end-stage renal disease (ESRD), which may persist even after renal transplantation. It is defined by autonomous, dysregulated parathyroid hormone (PTH) secretion, often refractory to pharmacologic therapy, and typically necessitating surgical intervention. We report the case of a 72-year-old renal transplant recipient with persistent THPT who underwent total parathyroidectomy (tPTX) with selective autotransplantation of parathyroid tissue into the left brachialis muscle. This approach was chosen to address ectopic glands and anatomical complexity, while facilitating postoperative monitoring and preserving superficial forearm structures for potential future dialysis access. Postoperatively, PTH normalized at 10 months (57 pg/mL) with stable calcium and renal function, confirming durable graft function and clinical remission. Total parathyroidectomy with brachialis muscle autotransplantation provides a safe, technically feasible, and functionally advantageous option for managing advanced or ectopic THPT. To our knowledge, this represents the first documented case of brachialis autotransplantation for THPT in Greece.
