Hyponatraemia and hypovolemic shock with tuberculous meningitis.
Article in Indian journal of pediatrics, 2003. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. It is linked to 2 registered trials, which are not on this map. Cited by 8 papers.
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.

Abstract
A 12-year-old boy with tuberculous meningitis and hydrocephalous, after undergoing revision of ventriculo-peritoneal shunt had persistent impairment of sensorium and episodes of hyponatremia (serum sodium 104 to 125 mmol/l), accompanied by polyuria, signs of poor peripheral, perfusion hypotension and low CVP, and high urinary sodium excretion (114-60 mmol/l). A diagnosis of cerebral salt wasting syndrome (CSWS) was made and was treated with saline replacement and fludrocortisone (10 microg/kg/day). Within next 3 days the sensorium, signs of shock, urine output and serum and urinary sodium returned to normal. The case illustrates that life-threatening hyponatremia in a child with neurological illness could be caused by CSWS, which must be differentiated from Syndrome of inappropriate antidiuretic hormone secretion (SIADH), as CSWS requires rigorous salt and volume replacement in contrast to fluid restriction in SIADH.
