Parathyroid autotransplantation into the brachioradialis protects parathyroid function during total thyroidectomy.
Trial report in Frontiers in endocrinology, 2026. 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
Background: Surgery remains the foundation of differentiated thyroid cancer management. However, total thyroidectomy (TT) with lymph node dissection frequently predisposes patients to hypoparathyroidism (HypoPT). The sternocleidomastoid is the conventional site for parathyroid autotransplantation, but this approach cannot effectively assess graft viability and real-time functional monitoring. Methods: Two sequential experiments were conducted. In Experiment 1, graft survival criteria were established by analyzing serum parathyroid hormone (PTH) ratios in the bilateral cephalic veins among 30 controls and 100 patients undergoing brachioradialis parathyroid autotransplantation. In Experiment 2, 180 TT patients undergoing bilateral central neck dissection were allocated into three groups (60 per group): Results: In Experiment 1, bilateral PTH ratio ≤ 1.16 was defined as the physiological baseline, with ≥ 1.2-fold as the graft viability threshold, which showed superior 6-month survival vs the 1.5-fold standard (83% vs 74%, Conclusions: Brachioradialis parathyroid autotransplantation is safe and effective, while significantly reducing the risk of early postoperative HypoPT. Brachioradialis autotransplantation were recommended for compromised or inadvertently excised parathyroid glands.
