Calciphylaxis in the Upper GI Tract in an ESRD Patient: An Atypical Presentation and Review of Literature.

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
Calciphylaxis, also referred to as calcific uremic arteriolopathy (CUA), is a rare and life-threatening condition characterized by vascular calcification, ischemic tissue injury, and high morbidity and mortality. It is predominantly observed in patients with end-stage renal disease (ESRD) who are undergoing dialysis and typically presents with painful cutaneous ulcers. We report an exceptional case of gastric mucosal CUA in a dialysis-dependent ESRD patient, presenting with severe upper gastrointestinal bleeding in the absence of preceding skin lesions. Histopathologic examination of gastric biopsies confirmed vascular calcification consistent with CUA. Despite medical intervention, the patient's course was complicated by poor treatment adherence and subsequent fatal outcome. This case underscores the importance of maintaining high index of suspicion for atypical, visceral presentations of CUA in high-risk ESRD patients. This case was previously presented as a poster at the National Kidney Foundation 2025 Spring Clinical Meeting.
