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

Hypercalcemic crisis associated with the development of acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) has been rarely documented in the literature. Most cases have been described in patients suffering from malignancies or renal failure with the presence of metastatic calcifications being a prominent feature. Only three cases of ARDS have been reported to date in patients with hypercalcemic crisis due to primary hyperparathyroidism (PHPT). Herein, we report a 72-year-old patient with PHPT that presented with severe hypercalcemic crisis and developed ARDS. He had mild chronic kidney disease and at presentation he had extremely high levels of serum calcium (22.5 mg/dl) and parathormone (3822 pg/ml). After receiving medical treatment for hypercalcemia and the initiation of hemodialysis, he developed ARDS with a fatal outcome, without the presence of pancreatitis, sepsis or heart failure. Although very rare, ARDS should be taken into account as a possible complication of parathyroid crisis, especially in patients with excessive calcium and parathormone levels.
