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

Infantile hypercalcemia is an uncommon presentation, even for a pediatric endocrinologist. However, the combination of diarrhea and hypercalcemia makes the situation particularly intriguing. In this report, the authors present the case of an infant referred to them for hypercalcemia, who had been experiencing watery diarrhea, abdominal distension, and failure to thrive since early neonatal age. The eventual diagnosis was congenital lactase deficiency. Targeted management with lactose-free feeds normalized calcium levels within a week of starting the therapy. During the first follow-up visit, three weeks after discharge, she exhibited a normal metabolic profile with optimum catch-up growth.
