Interplay between parathyroid hormone concentration and valvular and aortic calcifications.

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
Introduction: Recently, a relationship between hyperparathyroidism and cardiovascular disorders has been highlighted. The current study aimed to identify a potential relationship between parathyroid hormone (PTH) and valvular calcification performance. A secondary aim was to evaluate the potential association between PTH concentration and post-procedural outcomes after transcatheter aortic valve implantation (TAVI). Material and methods: Patients with severe symptomatic aortic stenosis were evaluated for study eligibility. Demographics, clinical data, and blood samples were collected. Pre-procedurally, echocardiography and computed tomography (CT) were performed. Quantitative evaluation of calcific tissue was conducted over the three regions of interest - ascending aorta, aortic and mitral valves - using semiautomated software. Results: The final study group comprised 89 patients (50 females, median (Q1-3) age of 77 (72-82) years. Increased PTH concentration was associated with a higher peak aortic gradient ( Conclusions: Increased PTH concentration is associated with calcific tissue attenuation but not calcium volume, suggesting that PTH may influence the degree of calcium accumulation in degenerated regions. PTH could potentially serve as a biomarker of calcific loading in valvular heart disease. However, PTH concentration does not appear to be associated with the rate of complications following TAVI.
