Transient neonatal hypocalcaemia caused by maternal hyperparathyroidism.

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
Hypocalcaemia in neonates can range from asymptomatic to a potentially life-threatening condition. We present a case of a 36 weeks gestational age boy, admitted to our neonatal intensive care unit for jitteriness, mild hypotonia and breastfeeding difficulties. By the ninth day of life, he presented with late-onset hypocalcaemia, hypomagnesaemia, low 25-OH-vitamin D and inappropriately normal parathyroid hormone. Further investigation revealed maternal hypercalcaemia with high parathyroid hormone. Maternal asymptomatic hyperparathyroidism was diagnosed and admitted as the cause of neonatal hypocalcaemia. There was a clinical improvement and calcium levels stabilisation after treatment with calcium gluconate and vitamin D
