Examination of a patient with renal tubular acidosis: renal tubular acidosis with hyperparathyroidism, pheochromocytoma, and multiple kidney stones: a case report.
Article in Journal of medical case reports, 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
backgroundRenal tubular acidosis is a rare disorder affecting acid-base balance, and its coexistence with endocrine abnormalities such as hyperparathyroidism and pheochromocytoma is exceptionally uncommon. This combination presents unique diagnostic and therapeutic challenges requiring a multidisciplinary approach. CASE PRESENTATION: A 25-year-old Iranian woman presented with recurrent flank pain, episodic palpitations, headaches, and intermittent hypertension. Imaging revealed bilateral nephrolithiasis, leading to ureteroscopic lithotripsy. Biochemical evaluation confirmed distal renal tubular acidosis (type 1), hyperparathyroidism, and pheochromocytoma, a rare and complex association. Metabolic acidosis, hypokalemia, and elevated catecholamine metabolites were noted. Potassium citrate was prescribed for stone prevention, and the patient remains asymptomatic after a year of follow-up.
conclusionThis case underscores the need for heightened clinical suspicion when nephrolithiasis is accompanied by systemic symptoms. The rare coexistence of renal tubular acidosis, hyperparathyroidism, and pheochromocytoma highlights the importance of early recognition and a multidisciplinary approach to prevent complications and optimize patient outcomes.
