Incidental Finding of Secondary Tumoral Calcinosis Following Cardiothoracic Surgery: The Role of Multimodality Imaging Including Spectral Detector Computed Tomography.
Article in Cureus, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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 is a rare syndrome that affects mostly soft tissues. It is characterized by calcium salt deposition in the periarticular soft tissue surrounding bony structures forming slow-growing, seldom asymptomatic masses. This case report describes a 41-year-old male with end-stage renal disease on home hemodialysis, who presented with an unusual rapidly progressive mass overlying the manubrium and suprasternal notch, following recent cardiothoracic surgery, which was initially felt to be a hematoma. The case highlights the role of spectral detector computed tomography (SDCT) in reaching the correct diagnosis of tumoral calcinosis as well as demonstrating additional changes of ectopic parathyroid hyperplasia in the anterior mediastinum.
