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

A patient with acute respiratory infection and severe hyponatraemia was admitted to our department. The hyponatraemia study was compatible with syndrome of inappropriate antidiuresis (SIAD) and an association with the respiratory problem was initially assumed. The recurrence of hyponatraemia after resolution of the pulmonary infection led to further investigation and to the diagnosis of tuberculous lymphadenitis. After treatment of this condition, discontinuation of SIAD treatment was possible, making this association presumable. We would like to highlight the importance of considering alternative conditions in the approach to SIAD.
