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
Nephrolithiasis, a common urological disease, could indicate a more ominous pathology beyond the kidneys. Patients who present with renal stones must be investigated for serum calcium and subsequently parathyroid hormones, if indicated, as one of the clinical presentations of primary hyperparathyroidism is renal stones. Case presentation: A 48-year-old married female with a past medical history significant for renal stones presented to the clinic chiefly complaining of muscle pain, joint pain, and fatigue. After thorough investigations, she was diagnosed with a case of primary hyperparathyroidism due to parathyroid adenoma and was managed surgically according to guidelines. Clinical discussion: Hypercalcemia, serum calcium of greater than 2 standard deviations above the reference value, is commonly seen to be associated with parathyroid mass therefore, assessment of serum calcium is a necessary step toward the diagnosis of parathyroid adenoma in cases with recurrent renal stones. Conclusion: Recurrent nephrolithiasis requires more thorough investigation for the possible underlying cause. Primary hyperparathyroidism due to parathyroid adenoma can present with recurrent renal stones and some vague symptoms.
