Calciphylaxis: A Rare Complication With a Fatal Outcome in End-Stage Renal Disease.
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
Calciphylaxis, or calcific uremic arteriolopathy, is a rare and deadly disease that affects patients with end-stage renal disease (ESRD). It typically manifests in the abdomen and lower extremities. We present a case of a 59-year-old female patient on dialysis due to ESRD who complained of a three-week history of hemorrhagic and painful bilateral lower limb lesions. The predominant clinical suspicion was warfarin-induced skin necrosis (WISN); however, the persistence of unresolved skin lesions post-warfarin cessation generated the impression of calciphylaxis. A skin biopsy confirmed the classical histological findings associated with calciphylaxis. This paper highlights the possible importance of warfarin being an inciting event, as well as the early differentiation between the presentations of WISN and calciphylaxis.
