1 · What the graph read from it

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.

2 · The registry

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

We report the first documented case of extreme, intact parathyroid hormone (PTH)-independent hypercalcemia mediated by a rare non-osteoclastic bone remodeling mechanism in a 65-year-old Puerto Rican woman, detected within 24 h of the second dose of the Moderna mRNA-1273 COVID-19 vaccine and leading to the diagnosis of high-risk biclonal IgA plasma cell myeloma (R-ISS Stage III). Peak serum calcium reached 17.4 mg/dL with concurrent hyperphosphatemia, normal lactate dehydrogenase (LDH), and without marrow osteoclasts or osteolytic lesions, findings inconsistent with classical cancer-associated hypercalcemia. Hypercalcemia resolved within eight days with supportive treatment alone, remaining durably normal nine months later. The temporal proximity to vaccination, together with the biochemical-histopathological profile, generates the hypothesis, without implying causation, that a vaccine-induced innate immune response triggered a rare inflammatory osteocytic perilacunar/canalicular remodeling. The biclonal gammopathy, Clone-1 (normal karyotype, CD33
