Serum Calcium Concentrations, Chronic Inflammation and Glucose Metabolism: A Cross-Sectional Analysis in the Andhra Pradesh Children and Parents Study (APCaPS).
Article in Current developments in nutrition, 2019. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 5 papers.
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
backgroundEvidence suggests a role for elevated serum calcium in dysregulated glucose metabolism, linked through low-level chronic inflammation.
objectivesWe investigated the association of elevated serum calcium concentrations (corrected for albumin) with markers of dysregulated glucose metabolism and type II diabetes and tested if these associations were accounted for by chronic inflammation in a rural Indian population.
methodsA cross-sectional analysis of participants aged 40-84 y from the Andhra Pradesh Children and Parents Study (APCaPS;
resultsAfter adjustments for sociodemographics, lifestyle factors, and anthropometry the highest calcium quartile (Q4 compared with Q1) was associated with FI (β = 1.4 µU/ml; 95% CI: 1.2, 1.5 µU/ml;
conclusionsElevated serum calcium was positively associated with markers of dysregulated glucose metabolism and prevalent type II diabetes in a rural Indian population. Chronic inflammation did not mediate this association but was independently associated with markers of dysregulated glucose metabolism. Inflammation might be responsible for elevated serum calcium concentrations in men.
