Immobility-induced hypercalcemia following complex lower limb trauma: A case report.
Article in JPRAS open, 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
Immobilization-induced hypercalcemia is a rare but potentially life-threatening complication in patients with prolonged immobility, particularly in those with severe trauma. We describe a 22-year-old male polytrauma patient with a Gustilo-Anderson grade 3b open tibial-fibular fracture and traumatic brain injury. During prolonged recovery complicated by multiple surgical interventions, he developed moderate hypercalcemia two months post-injury. Common causes such as malignancy and primary hyperparathyroidism were excluded. Hypercalcemia was attributed to prolonged immobilization and successfully managed with intravenous fluids. This case highlights the need for routine calcium monitoring in trauma patients with prolonged immobilization. Early recognition and management of hypercalcemia are critical to prevent serious complications.
