A Rare Presentation of Hypocalcaemia-Induced Seizure Secondary to Late-Onset Post-Thyroidectomy Complication.

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
We report a rare case of late-onset hypocalcaemia presenting with seizure in a female patient, occurring approximately 25 years after a total thyroidectomy. Initial investigations ruled out intracranial pathology, and biochemical analysis confirmed severe hypocalcaemia. The patient responded to intravenous calcium gluconate infusion, with subsequent stabilisation on oral calcium therapy. Notably, the patient had been non-compliant with long-term calcium supplementation. This report underscores that chronic hypocalcaemia can manifest with acute neurological symptoms such as seizures and highlights the importance of long-term follow-up for post-thyroidectomy patients.
