A Novel Adult Case of Recurrent Acute Pancreatitis Caused by Hypercalcemia With Concurrent Manifestation of Posterior Reversible Encephalopathy Syndrome Revealing Undiagnosed Primary Hyperparathyroidism due to an Underlying Parathyroid Adenoma.

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
Background: Hypercalcemia-induced posterior reversible encephalopathy syndrome (PRES) is a rare entity primarily associated with iatrogenic vitamin D/calcium overdose, malignancy, or, infrequently, primary hyperparathyroidism. Case Report: We present a novel case of an adult male from rural India who experienced recurrent acute pancreatitis caused by hypercalcemia with concurrent manifestation of PRES. Diagnostic evaluation revealed markedly elevated serum calcium levels and parathyroid hormone concentrations, consistent with primary hyperparathyroidism. Imaging studies identified a parathyroid adenoma near the right thyroid lobe, subsequently surgically excised. Discussion: This case underscores the importance of considering primary hyperparathyroidism as an underlying cause of PRES, especially in the absence of acute arterial hypertension or autonomic dysfunction. Early recognition and intervention are essential in mitigating the morbidity and mortality of PRES.
