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

Pulmonary calcification and ossification are uncommon findings characterized by the deposition of calcium salts or bone tissue in the lung, generally associated with chronic kidney disease, hyperparathyroidism, and several other causes (1). Ossification is bone formation without or with marrow elements in the lung (1). In some patients, a new entity of subclinical primary hyperparathyroidism has been detected, characterized by persistently elevated parathyroid hormone concentration and normal serum calcium level, usually asymptomatic (2). CT scan is the standard method for detecting calcification and ossification. Radiological presentation on CT is characterized by round or lobulated nodules (3). Follow-up consists of monitoring lung images and lung function to assess disease progression. It suggests an annual CT scan. In this case, we presented a rare association of dendriform ossification with normocalcemic hyperparathyroidism, in particular, in a patient with pulmonary ossification, subclinical primary hyperparathyroidism, and diffuse calcifications.
