Hypercalcemia - An enigmatic cause of acute pancreatitis.
Article in Journal of clinical and translational research, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 12 papers.
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
Background: Acute pancreatitis (AP) continues to be one of the common abdominal emergencies encountered in tertiary care hospitals. The majority of AP is caused by gall stones and alcohol. Hypercalcemia though uncommon has been reported to cause AP, recurrent AP, and chronic pancreatitis (CP). Aim: The aim of this study was to describe hypercalcemia-induced AP in different settings. Materials and Methods: In total 100 patients with AP, admitted from January 2021 to December 2021 at our center, etiologies were biliary (36%), alcohol (19%), idiopathic (21%), alcohol plus Biliary (5%), post-endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreaticography (7%), drug-induced (6%), hypercalcemia (3%), and dengue infection (3%). Overall mortality was 11%. Results: In three patients with hypercalcemia-induced pancreatitis, causes of hypercalcemia were multiple myeloma, parathyroid adenoma leading to hyperparathyroidism, and hypervitaminosis D in association with hyperthyroidism. Conclusion: Hypercalcemia-induced AP is not a rare phenomenon and should be actively investigated to prevent further attacks of AP and progression to CP. Relevance for Patients: Hypercalcemia is a potentially treatable cause of AP and its identification will not only help to treat and prevent further episodes of pancreatitis but also to manage underlying diseases leading to hypercalcemia.
