Hypercalcemia associated with kidney disease: it is not always what you think-a case report.
Article in Journal of medical case reports, 2026. 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
backgroundHypercalcemia is a disorder resulting either from impaired calcium renal reabsorption, excessive bone resorption or intestinal absorption, or a combination of these conditions. It can lead to both acute kidney injury and chronic kidney disease, which may develop in case of prolonged or recurrent hypercalcemia. Therefore, the coexistence of hypercalcemia and kidney damage requires prompt recognition of predisposing factors. CASE REPORTS: Case 1 shows a 63-year-old white male with renal impairment and hypercalcemia who presented with weight loss, general malaise, and muscle pain. Renal biopsy revealed renal damage due to hypercalcemia. The symptoms did not clearly indicate the cause of hypercalcemia; however, the diagnosis was finally made on the basis of a biopsy of the enlarged salivary gland. Case 2 shows a 39-year-old white male with hypercalcemia and acute kidney injury after an episode of seizures with a loss of consciousness. The contrast-enhanced computed tomography revealed conglomerate of lymph nodes located in the left groin. Case 3 shows a 35-year-old white man with acute kidney injury and hypercalcemia with multisite pain and recurrent infections. Computed tomography and magnetic resonance imaging of the spine showed bone osteolytic lesions.
conclusionThe article presents clinical challenges in the diagnosis and early implementation of appropriate therapy for hypercalcemia. Quick diagnosis enables proper treatment of the underlying disease, normalization of serum calcium levels, and improvement of kidney function.
