A Hypercalcemic Crisis Complicating Subcutaneous Fat Necrosis of the Newborn: A Case Report and Literature Review.
Article in Cureus, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
Subcutaneous fat necrosis of the newborn (SFNN) is a rare panniculitis that is characterized by the presence of skin nodules. Although SFNN is a self-limited benign disease, effective follow-up is highly recommended to detect hypercalcemia and other complications early on. A male newborn was admitted twice to the neonatal intensive care unit (NICU). The first NICU admission was for hypoglycemia, and the second was due to late-onset sepsis, in which reddish nodules were detected on the back, flanks, shoulders, and posterior aspects of the legs. At 44 days old, the infant was referred to the emergency department due to a hypercalcemic crisis. Screening for other SFNN complications revealed eosinophilia, hypoglycemia, and nephrocalcinosis. The hospitalization was further complicated by a rare occurrence of deep venous thrombosis. The calcium level was followed up to ensure the patient's recovery. This case highlights the complications that might follow SFNN and emphasizes the importance of its surveillance.
