Clinical efficacy of parathyroid autotransplantation into the forearm muscle in thyroid surgery: a retrospective cohort study on functional restoration.

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
Purpose: This study was conducted to evaluate the clinical efficacy of autologous parathyroid transplantation into the forearm brachioradialis muscle during thyroid surgery and analyze the timing of graft function recovery. Methods: A total of 52 patients undergoing thyroid surgery with autologous parathyroid transplantation were selected. Serum parathyroid hormone (PTH) levels were measured at various postoperative intervals, and instances of hypoparathyroidism were recorded. Results: Postoperative PTH levels on the transplant side were significantly higher than on the non-transplant side from week 1 to 1 year. Effective graft rates were 1.9% on day 1, 40.4% at week 1, 84.6% at 1 month, and stabilized at around 73% after 1 year. Transient hypoparathyroidism was observed in 17.3% of patients, with no permanent cases. Conclusion: Autologous parathyroid transplantation into the forearm brachioradialis muscle effectively preserves parathyroid function, with grafts regaining optimal function within 2-3 months and the graft still having good secretory function 1 year after surgery.
