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

A hypercalcemic crisis (HC) is a life-threatening endocrine emergency if not promptly diagnosed and treated. Initial management for HC includes fluid resuscitation, diuresis, bisphosphonates, calcitonin, and glucocorticoids, along with diagnosing the underlying etiology of HC. However, for the refractory HC, continuous renal replacement therapy (CRRT) with regional citrate anticoagulation (RCA) should be considered. We report a case of severe refractory HC successfully managed with CRRT using RCA and surgery. A 56-year-old female patient was admitted to University Medical Center Ho Chi Minh City due to a decrease in consciousness. Laboratory tests and clinical manifestations suggested the diagnosis of primary hyperparathyroidism. The patient was managed with strategies to lower calcium levels, including intravenous normal saline, oral fluid replacement via nasogastric tube, calcitonin, and bisphosphonate; however, the patient did not respond to the initial treatment. Subsequently, the patient underwent CRRT with RCA and calcium-free replacement fluid to reduce the calcium level before parathyroidectomy. The patient was discharged after 10 days of hospitalization. CRRT with RCA appears to be a potential, effective, and safe method for treating refractory hypercalcemic crises. Further research is required to investigate the role of CRRT with RCA in refractory hypercalcemia.
