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

Hypercalcaemia with suppressed parathyroid hormone (PTH) typically raises concern for malignancy-related, granulomatous disorder-related or drug-related hypercalcaemia but can occasionally be caused by less common conditions. We present the case of a middle-aged female with hypercalcaemia with reduced PTH levels despite vitamin insufficiency, who was eventually diagnosed with autoimmune hyperthyroidism. The diagnostic challenge arose from the atypical association of hyperthyroidism and hypercalcaemia. This case highlights the importance of considering hyperthyroidism in the differential diagnosis of hypercalcaemia.
