Successful treatment of recurrent renal stones with Cinacalcet in a patient with primary hyperparathyroidism.

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
A man aged 72 years with long-standing primary hyperparathyroidism (HPT), a background of recurrent bilateral renal stones and failed parathyroid surgery is described. During the 27 months preceding treatment, episodes of renal colic became increasingly frequent and he required multiple surgical interventions. Given the lack of medical therapies to definitively treat his symptoms, he was started on a trial of the calcimimetic, Cinacalcet. Cinacalcet has previously been shown to reduce hypercalcaemia in patients with primary HPT. Despite this, there is a paucity of evidence to suggest that its use is associated with a long-term reduction in urinary calcium excretion and renal stone recurrence. In our case, within 4 months of starting treatment, serum and urinary calcium had normalised and parathyroid hormone concentrations were within reference ranges. To date, over a 50-month treatment period, there has been a complete cessation in stone formation, and no further urological intervention has been required.
