Extensive Visceral Calciphylaxis in a Patient with End-stage Renal Disease: A Postmortem Revelation.
Article in Internal medicine (Tokyo, Japan), 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
Calciphylaxis is a rare, life-threatening condition in end-stage renal disease, often presenting with skin ulcers and potentially involving the internal organs. A 62-year-old man undergoing hemodialysis developed non-healing leg ulcers that were initially treated for cellulitis. The diagnosis was confirmed through a biopsy after ulceration and necrosis progressed. Despite multidisciplinary treatment, the patient died because of sepsis and intestinal perforation. Autopsy revealed extensive visceral calciphylaxis, highlighting the under-recognized systemic nature of the disease. This case emphasizes the need for heightened awareness and an early diagnosis as well as the role of autopsies in understanding calciphylaxis, particularly its potential to involve visceral organs, which may be underrecognized.
