Proximal Renal Tubular Acidosis Complicated by Severe Hypocalcemia Caused by Malnutrition and Inappropriate Long-term Use of Zoledronate: A Case Report and Review of the Literature.
Review in Internal medicine (Tokyo, Japan), 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 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
An 80-year-old man presented with electrolyte abnormalities, particularly hypocalcemia (3.6 mg/dL). He was diagnosed with bone and lymph node metastases from prostate cancer seven years earlier and continuously received goserelin, bicalutamide, and zoledronate. He later developed gradually worsening hypocalcemia, hypokalemia, hypophosphatemia, hypouricemia, renal dysfunction, and weight loss. Urinary potassium and phosphate loss, renal glucosuria, metabolic acidosis, and a low urine pH (5.0) were observed. Given the acquired onset and clinical course, we diagnosed the patient with zoledronate-induced proximal renal tubular acidosis. In the present case, severe hypocalcemia may have been caused by malnutrition and inappropriate long-term use of zoledronate.
