Evaluating initial screening practices for calcium dysregulation after acute traumatic spinal cord injury: a retrospective review.
Article in Spinal cord series and cases, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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
objectivesThe purpose of this study was to determine the frequency of which calcium homeostasis markers are obtained in the acute setting after an initial traumatic spinal cord injury (TSCI).
designRetrospective chart review of a limited data set linking ICD 10 codes designating TSCI to corresponding calcium homeostasis markers for patients with an initial chart encounter for TSCI.
settingA level 1 trauma center in Virginia, United States
methodsThe statistical software SPSS was used to calculate summary statistics including frequency, mean, and standard deviation for calcium homeostasis markers (basic metabolic panel, magnesium, spot urine calcium, testosterone panel, liver function tests, Vitamin D level, C-telopeptide, parathyroid hormone, celiac panel, DXA imaging report) as well as the mean and standard deviation for time to first check of the marker.
resultsMost markers were not obtained besides calcium. Only 10 of 80 (12.5%) of subjects had a Vitamin D level (mean 28, SD 23) checked during acute admission (mean days to check 1.5, SD 1.6), with most other markers checked much less frequently.
conclusionsMost calcium homeostasis markers were not checked on acute admission after TSCI. Future studies on implementing a standardized calcium homeostasis marker protocol for monitoring and potential medical intervention should be explored.
