A Case of Early Calciphylaxis Diagnosed by Bone Scan.
Article in Case reports in medicine, 2020. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 4 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled 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.
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
Calcium uremic aortic disease (calciphylaxis) has long been considered as a rare, life-threatening small vessel disease. The diagnosis of calciphylaxis depends mainly on clinical symptoms and high risk factors, and skin biopsy can be used to confirm the diagnosis. However, noninvasive testing methods are still the focus of exploration currently. There is increasing evidence that bone scintigraphy is helpful in the diagnosis of calciphylaxis, especially for assessing the involvement of muscles and internal organs. Here, we describe a pathology-proven case of calciphylaxis case and the corresponding imaging findings on Tc-99 m MDP bone scan imaging.
