1 · What the graph read from it

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.

2 · The registry

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

contextHypercalcemia is reported as a rare finding in adrenal insufficiency, but is not well described in congenital adrenal hyperplasia (CAH).

methodsA retrospective chart review was conducted of patients with CAH diagnosed before the age of 2 years who had at least one recorded serum calcium measurement. Data from birth to 6 years of age were reviewed.

resultsOf the 40 patients who met inclusion criteria, 33 (82.5%) had at least one elevated calcium concentration and 21 (53%) had two or more elevated calcium concentrations. Of the 126 elevated serum calcium concentrations, the median was 10.9 mg/dL (range, 10.6 to 14.2 mg/dL). Median age at the last elevated calcium measurement was 5 months (range, 0.3 to 46 months). Serum calcium concentration was inversely related to age (

conclusionChildren with CAH are at risk for developing hypercalcemia, hypercalciuria, and nephrocalcinosis. Further studies are needed to determine the broader prevalence and the etiology of hypercalcemia in CAH.
