Hypercalcemia and Acute Kidney Injury Associated with Disseminated Paracoccidioidomycosis.

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
Paracoccidioidomycosis is an acute to chronic systemic mycosis caused by the fungi Paracoccidioides. Hypercalcemia is a rare and not fully understood presentation of this infection. We present a case report of paracoccidioidomycosis associated with hypercalcemia and acute kidney injury (AKI) in an immunocompetent patient. An immunocompetent 30-year-old man from Brazil presented with papular erythematous-violaceous skin lesions, disseminated lymphadenopathy, pain in the left hypochondrium, fever with night sweats, and loss of 25 kilograms in 5 months. The result of a biopsy of the lesions was positive for Paracoccidioides brasiliensis. Laboratory findings were high total calcium and 1,25-dihydroxy vitamin D, with low parathyroid hormone, low albumin, and AKI. Computed tomography scans revealed splenic infarcts without bone lesions. Treatment was performed with methylprednisolone and liposomal amphotericin B. Calcium levels and kidney function normalized within 20 days of hospitalization. The patient was discharged 49 days after admission. A follow-up 6 months later revealed total clinical and serological remission.
