Primary hyperphosphatemic tumoral calcinosis: a case report.
Article in Osteoporosis international : a journal established as result of cooperation between the European Foundation for Osteoporosis and the National Osteoporosis Foundation of the USA, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 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
Tumoral calcinosis (TC) is a rare disease characterized by periarticular soft tissue calcification. Some cases were reported in Africa and the Middle East. We report an 11-year-old Chinese girl presenting with recurrent multiple subcutaneous masses around the right elbow and hip regions. Although we found abnormalities in FGF23, a protein associated with phosphate metabolism, no positive results were observed in gene sequencing and analysis. The imaging features, laboratory examination, and pathology results confirmed our diagnosis. By using oral phosphorus-lowering drugs (acetazolamide) combined with complete surgical excision, good results were achieved, and no recurrence was reported during the follow-up of 18 months. We report a case of primary hyperphosphatemic TC. The combined use of oral phosphorus-lowering drugs (acetazolamide) and complete surgical excision produced good results, and no recurrence was reported during the follow-up of 18 months.
