Analysis of circulating bone-glucose profile and exerkine irisin across parathormone quartiles in patients with primary hyperparathyroidism.
Article in Romanian journal of morphology and embryology = Revue roumaine de morphologie et embryologie. 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
backgroundParathyroid tumors, mostly single or multiple adenomas, cause a hormonal imbalance via parathormone (PTH) excess, that further increases serum calcium (primary hyperparathyroidism) with both PTH- and calcium-related multi-organ consequences. Testing the bone turnover markers (BTM) profile might capture the essence of associated bone turnover anomalies with practical applications in the clinical setting.
objectiveOur objective was to compare the BTM across mineral metabolism panel, glucose profile, as well as circulating irisin levels in patients with primary hyperparathyroidism vs. (tumor-free) controls by refining the analysis based on PTH values quartiles. PATIENTS, MATERIALS AND
methodsA prospective study with a single-center design in menopausal adults, who were enrolled between December 2024 and May 2026.
results148 enrolled across four PTH quartiles (mean age 63.39 years and menopause length 16.55 years): 27.09±5.56 pg∕mL (Q1), 38.33±2.58 pg∕mL (Q2), 46.34±2.93 pg∕mL (Q3) and 65.78±16.51 pg∕mL in Q4 (p<0.001 for each). Glycated hemoglobin (HbA1c) was lower (statistically significantly): Q4 of 5.74±0.32% compared to non-Q4 of 5.98±0.67% (p=0.006), as well as triglycerides of 103.39±36.34 vs. 124.41±66.26 mg∕dL (p=0.017). Fasting insulin was also different among PTH quartiles, with the highest median value in Q4 of 8.35 (6.47, 11.49) μIU∕mL (p=0.027). Median homeostatic model assessment for insulin resistance (HOMA-IR) was higher in Q2 vs. Q1 (p=0.034), Q3 vs. Q1 (p=0.016) and Q4 vs. Q1 (p=0.005). Osteocalcin was statistically significantly different among quartiles (p=0.036). Receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve analysis of osteocalcin to predict primary hyperparathyroidism revealed area under the curve (AUC) 0.645 (p=0.006). The cut-off osteocalcin with the highest Youden index was for the value of 21.26 ng∕mL (sensitivity 63.90%; specificity 63.10%). In Q4, irisin associated a statistically significant and positive correlation with the value of calculated body mass index (BMI) (r=0.361, p=0.042).
conclusionsIn this PTH-based quartiles analysis of menopausal females with/without primary hyperparathyroidism, we found a distinct interpretation of the glucose profile and BTM depending on quartiles, while irisin positive corelated with BMI in cased with parathyroid tumors.
