Prevalence and predictors of early hypercalcemia after kidney transplantation: a nested case-control study within a cohort of 100 patients.

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
backgroundHypercalcemia (HC) after kidney transplantation (KTx) can deteriorate both graft and patient survival. However, HC as a clinical condition and its clinical significance after KTx remain unknown. We evaluated the prevalence and risk factors of early HC after KTx.
methodsWe performed a nested case-control study using a cohort of 100 KTx patients. KTx patients were divided into the HC and normocalcemia (NC) groups based on the baseline serum-corrected calcium (cCa) levels (≥ 10.5 and < 10.5 mg/dL) within 1 year after KTx.
resultsOverall, the median value of maximum serum cCa level within 1 year after KTx was 10.1 (9.1-13.8) mg/dL. Of the 100 KTx patients within the cohort, 31 patients (31.0%) were classified as the HC group. The maximum serum cCa level was reached significantly earlier in the HC group compared with the NC group (2 vs. 4 months, p = 0.024). In univariate analysis, the risk factors of early HC after KTx were dialysis duration ≥ 10 years, serum cCa level the day before KTx, and cinacalcet administration before KTx. Among these risk factors, serum cCa level the day before KTx and cinacalcet administration before KTx were identified as significant independent risk factors of early HC after KTx in multivariate analysis.
conclusionsOne-third of the KTx patients presented early HC within 1 year after KTx. Early HC after KTx resulted from persistent hyperparathyroidism. Therapeutic strategies to manage HC after KTx must be established.
