Acute pancreatitis related to hypercalcemia as initial manifestation of cancer: About 4 cases.
Article in Radiology case reports, 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
Acute pancreatitis is a frequent gastrointestinal emergency seen in tertiary care hospitals. While gallstones and chronic alcohol consumption remain the most common causes, other etiologies can also be identified, notably hypercalcemia, which constitutes a rare yet deadly cause of acute pancreatitis. Herein, we report 4 cases of AP related to hypercalcemia from malignancies: 2 cases of multiple myeloma, one case of rectal malignancy, and 1 case of medullary thyroid carcinoma associated with a parathyroid adenoma. Among these cases, one patient died, one developed exocrine and endocrine pancreatic insufficiency, and another progressed to end-stage chronic renal failure. Awareness of hypercalcemia of malignancy as an exceptional etiology of AP is crucial for timely diagnosis and appropriate management of these cases.
