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

A 33-year-old man came with nausea, vomiting and abdominal pain due to hypercalcaemia and renal dysfunction following two doses of intramuscular vitamin D injections. Levels of vitamin D were repeatedly above 300 ng/ml over a period of 10 months. Whole-body PET CT scan revealed a thin-walled collection in the right gluteal region. The patient refused a surgical intervention for the same. After 7 months of follow-up, the abscess ruptured spontaneously and was then surgically debrided. At this point, a history of pentazocine addiction was uncovered. One month later, vitamin D levels began to fall along with improvement in serum calcium and creatinine. This case unravels a diagnostic odyssey which ended with a simple surgical debridement. We aim to highlight that vitamin D supplementation in 'megadoses' in the presence of active infection can have an exaggerated response and may take months to resolve.
