Progress and future prospects for the surgical treatment of permanent hypoparathyroidism after thyroid surgery: a narrative review.
Review in BMC surgery, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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
BACKGROUND AND
objectiveThe most prevalent complication following total thyroidectomy is hypoparathyroidism. Permanent hypoparathyroidism poses a significant medical burden, necessitating lifelong medication and regular follow-up. Parathyroid transplantation has demonstrated its biological efficacy and is therefore widely utilized in total thyroidectomy procedures. However, the mechanisms and treatment approaches vary considerably, lacking standardized guidelines.
methodsWe conducted a narrative review of relevant literature on PubMed using the keywords "Parathyroid gland, transplantation, autotransplantation, allotransplantation, hypoparathyroidism, total thyroidectomy" to elucidate the surgical management and future prospects for permanent postoperative hypoparathyroidism (PPH). KEY CONTENT AND
findingsPreservation of the parathyroid gland blood supply and prevention of inadvertent parathyroid removal during thyroid surgery, performed by a skilled surgeon, are crucial for preventing PPH. Parathyroid autotransplantation (PAT) during thyroidectomy significantly reduces the occurrence of PPH. For established PPH, alternative techniques include transplantation of autologous cryopreserved parathyroid tissue (PT) and parathyroid allotransplantation.
conclusionsCurrent management of PPH primarily encompass high-dose vitamin D and calcium supplementation, parathyroid hormone (PTH) replacement therapy, and autologous or allogeneic transplantation of parathyroid. Ongoing research is expanding the therapeutic landscape to include novel approaches such as stem cell-derived therapies and recombinant human PTH (rhPTH) replacement.
