Calcium Polystyrene Sulfonate Crystal-related Airway Obstruction.

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 83-year-old man diagnosed with multiple myeloma presented with renal failure and hyperkalemia. The patient was treated with calcium polystyrene sulfonate (CPS: kalimate) for hyperkalemia. On the 10th day after starting CPS, airway obstruction due to the presence of a mass was observed, and the patient died on that same day. Autopsy revealed that the mass was located between the trachea and epiglottis and it was determined to consist of CPS-related mosaic crystals. There was a protrusion within the trachea surrounding the CPS crystals, inflammatory cells, and granulation tissue. This case suggests that CPS is associated with not only gastrointestinal complications, but also with airway complications.
