Normocalcemic pseudohypoparathyroidism type 1B complicated by hypokalemia: A case report.
Article in SAGE open 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
Pseudohypoparathyroidism (PHP) is a heterogeneous group of disorders defined by resistance to parathyroid hormone (PTH), typically stemming from GNAS locus abnormalities. This report describes an unusual case of a 32-year-old Han Chinese male with sporadic PHP Type 1B (PHP1B) who presented with paroxysmal numbness and significant hypokalemia. Despite elevated PTH levels, the patient maintained normocalcemia and showed no evidence of globus pallidus calcification on brain imaging. Diagnosis was confirmed using methylation-specific multiplex ligation-dependent probe amplification, which identified characteristic GNAS imprinting defects: a gain of methylation at the NESP55 exon and loss of methylation at the AS, XL, and A/B exons. With a normal copy number, no detectable GNAS mutations, and a negative family history, the case was classified as sporadic PHP1B. This rare presentation highlights the broad phenotypic spectrum of PHP and emphasizes the clinical importance of monitoring diverse electrolyte disturbances, such as hypokalemia, even when calcium levels appear normal.
