Multiple Subcutaneous Calcifications in a Neonate after Intravenous Calcium Gluconate: A Case Report.
Article in JNMA; journal of the Nepal Medical Association, 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
Extravasation of calcium gluconate can lead to erythema, tenderness, induration, edema and sometimes iatrogenic calcinosis cutis. Subcutaneous calcification may be mistaken for cellulitis, abscess, calcified hematoma, or osteomyelitis, resulting in unnecessary antibiotic therapy or surgical intervention. A 36+5 weeks male baby with birth weight 2500 grams, presented on 4th day of life with fever and neonatal hyperbilirubinemia. He developed symptomatic hypocalcemia and was treated with multiple doses of intravenous calcium gluconate infusion. At one week follow up he presented with multiple tender hard nodules distributed over previous cannulation sites. He was managed conservatively. Paracetamol was given for pain management. There was complete resolution of lesions by 12 weeks. Radiographs in soft tissue calcification after extravasation of calcium gluconate are initially negative, take one to three weeks to appear and usually months to resolve.
