A patient with Sagliker syndrome who underwent parathyroidectomy: A case report and literature review.

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
backgroundSagliker syndrome (SS) is a rare yet severe complication of end-stage renal disease that is predominantly observed in patients who have undergone prolonged hemodialysis and develop secondary hyperparathyroidism (SHPT). SS is characterized by progressive craniofacial and maxillofacial bone deformities, such as mandibular widening, increased interdental spacing, and neuropsychiatric symptoms including anxiety, depression, and cognitive dysfunction. These manifestations significantly impair the quality of life of affected individuals. CASE REPORT: We report the case of a 42-year-old woman undergoing regular hemodialysis who was diagnosed with SHPT and SS. The patient was admitted to the hospital with a 3-year history of skeletal deformity. On December 29, 2012, she underwent total parathyroidectomy (PTx) with some parathyroid tissue transplanted to the left forearm. Over 12 years of regular follow-up, we found that clinical symptoms, such as facial deformity and bone pain, and laboratory indicators, including corrected serum calcium and phosphorus levels, significantly improved. Amazingly, the skull, which was altered in a "salt and pepper" pattern, improved significantly.
conclusionAfter PTx in patients with SS, clinical symptoms and related laboratory indicators can be significantly improved, which is conducive to enhancing patient prognosis. Therefore, PTx should be performed in such patients as early as possible. However, further research is needed to develop a more standardized treatment plan for SS.
