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

Hypercalcemia of malignancy (HCM) is the most common cause of hypercalcemia in hospitalized patients. The pathogenesis of HCM is often multifactorial. One of the rare causes of HCM is extra-renal production of 1,25-dihydroxyvitamin D (or calcitriol), which is often seen in patients with lymphoproliferative malignancies. Here we report an interesting case of a 77-year-old female with severe hypercalcemia and renal mass. Initially, she was presumed to have humoral hypercalcemia of malignancy. However, her renal mass turned out to be diffuse large B cell lymphoma upon removal. Her severe hypercalcemia was attributed to a combination of ectopic calcitriol production from the tumor and probable iatrogenic vitamin D intoxication. This case highlights the need to consider multiple concurrent etiologies in patients with severe hypercalcemia.
