Acute Inflammatory Arthropathy and Hypercalcemia Leading to a Diagnosis of Primary Hyperparathyroidism in a Patient With Known Sarcoidosis.
Article in Cureus, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
Calcium pyrophosphate deposition disease (CPPD) is a crystal-induced arthropathy characterized by calcium pyrophosphate crystal deposition in joints and soft tissues. The diagnosis is suggested by the presence of chondrocalcinosis on x-ray but is most often diagnosed by synovial fluid analysis (SFA). CPPD is associated with aging and metabolic disorders such as hyperparathyroidism. In this case, we present an 87-year-old woman with known sarcoidosis who presented with acute arthropathy, hypercalcemia, and radiographic evidence of CPPD. Her hypercalcemia had been attributed to her sarcoidosis in the past without a full workup. Hypercalcemia in the setting of suspected CPPD led to a full workup for hypercalcemia and ultimately led to a diagnosis of primary hyperparathyroidism. This case highlights the importance of a complete evaluation for hypercalcemia in the setting of CPPD, even when another disease, such as sarcoidosis, could explain hypercalcemia. Ultimately, CPPD aided in diagnosing hyperparathyroidism in our patient with known sarcoidosis.
