Assessment of quality of life following subtotal parathyroidectomy in patients with secondary hyperparathyroidism resulting from end-stage renal disease: a single-center prospective study in Vietnam.
Article in BMC 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
backgroundPatients with end-stage renal disease (ESRD), complicated by secondary hyperparathyroidism (sHPT) often experience severely impaired quality of life (QoL), for which surgery is considered the established standard of care. This study aimed to evaluate the improvement in QoL following surgery.
methodsA total of 51 patients with sHPT due to ESRD underwent subtotal parathyroidectomy at the National Hospital of Endocrinology from January to December 2024. QoL was evaluated using the Short Form-36 Health Survey (SF-36) at two intervals: prior to surgery and 3 months following surgery.
resultsThe results revealed that the majority of patients experienced poor to very poor QoL prior to surgery. Factors such as dialysis duration of over 10 years and hypertension were significantly associated with reduced QoL. Postoperative outcomes demonstrated significant improvement: the mean physical health score increased from 27.88 to 44.1 points, and the mental health score improved from 31.14 to 51.19 points at 3 months post-surgery. The overall QoL score increased from 29.03 to 46.86 points, with statistically significant differences (P < 0.05).
conclusionSubtotal parathyroidectomy was found to have significantly improved the QoL in patients with ESRD complicated sHPT.
