Isolated Mesenteric Calciphylaxis With Ischemic Colitis in a Hemodialysis Patient Without Active Cutaneous Calciphylaxis: A Case Report of Calcific Uremic Arteriolopathy.
Article in Kidney medicine. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 7 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
Calciphylaxis, also known as calcific uremic arteriolopathy, is a devastating systemic disease most commonly associated with chronic kidney failure. Its hallmark histopathologic features of small-vessel calcification, intimal hyperplasia, and microthrombi lead to microvascular occlusion and tissue necrosis. Clinically, it typically presents with painful cutaneous lesions that may be distal or proximal, with proximal lesions associated with higher mortality. Visceral involvement in this disease process is rare and in such case reports, all patients have coincident active cutaneous lesions. We present a case of a man in his 40s receiving hemodialysis presenting with mesenteric calciphylaxis complicated by ischemic colitis without active cutaneous lesions. Treatment consisted of sodium thiosulfate, vitamin K, and surgical resection. He previously had penile calciphylaxis treated with 3 months of sodium thiosulfate therapy and optimization of his serum calcium, phosphate, and parathyroid hormone levels. His penile calciphylaxis healed 12 months before his presentation with mesenteric calciphylaxis. This is the first known case report of isolated mesenteric calciphylaxis. It raises a number of clinical dilemmas, including duration of sodium thiosulfate use, monitoring for disease activity, and suitability for future kidney transplantation.
