1 · What the graph read from it

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.

2 · The registry

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

Infantile hypercalcemia (IH) is a rare genetic disorder characterized by hypercalcemia, hypercalciuria, low parathyroid hormone, and nephrocalcinosis during the first months of life. Biallelic variants in the genes CYP24A1 and SCL34A1 cause IH1 and 2, respectively. We present the case of a newborn with an antenatal diagnosis of IH2 due to the identification of echogenic, yet normal-sized kidneys at 23 weeks gestation. Trio whole-exome sequencing initially identified only a heterozygous pathogenic variant in SLC34A1. Re-analysis of the exome data because of the clinical suspicion of IH2 revealed a 21-basepair deletion in trans that had initially been filtered out because of its high allele frequency. The diagnosis of IH2 enabled postnatal screening for hypercalcemia, present already at week 1, resulting in early treatment with phosphate supplementation and vitamin D avoidance. In the subsequent course, biochemical parameters were normalized, and the patient showed no obvious clinical complications of IH2, apart from the nephrocalcinosis.
