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

We report a rare case of severe acute pancreatitis with hypercalcaemia induced by primary hyperparathyroidism (PHPT) in a 27-year-old female patient at 28 weeks of gestation during pregnancy. The patient initially presented with onset epigastric pain with nausea and vomiting and was diagnosed with severe acute pancreatitis, hypercalcaemia, and PHPT. After conservative management, the patient underwent a caesarean section and successfully delivered a baby boy, who suffered from hypocalcaemic convulsions in the postnatal period. The patient's blood calcium level was still elevated and subsequently diagnosed as a left parathyroid adenoma by single photon emission computed tomography, and her blood calcium returned to normal after parathyroidectomy. PHPT in pregnancy is often difficult to diagnose early because of the non-specific clinical manifestations. Early recognition and timely surgical treatment are crucial for the safety of the mother and baby. In patients with PHPT with moderate to severe hypercalcaemia, parathyroidectomy is recommended in mid-pregnancy.
