Renal Sarcoidosis Presenting as Acute Kidney Injury With Persistent Hypercalcemia in the Absence of Respiratory Symptoms: A Report of a Rare Case.
Article in Cureus, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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
Sarcoidosis is a chronic multisystem granulomatous disease of unknown etiology, known for its diverse manifestations and ability to mimic other pathologies. Renal involvement in sarcoidosis is uncommon. We present a diagnostically challenging case of a 66-year-old male who presented with unintentional weight loss, anorexia, and lethargy, having acute kidney injury (AKI) and refractory hypercalcemia, ultimately diagnosed with renal sarcoidosis. This report underscores the significance of maintaining a broad differential diagnosis in cases of unexplained AKI and hypercalcemia, especially in the absence of respiratory symptoms. Early recognition of key imaging and biochemical clues allows prompt initiation of therapy and helps optimize patient outcomes.
