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 a 13-month-old infant who accidentally ingested a tablet of 3, 4-methylenedioxymethamphetamine (MDMA) and was brought to the emergency department with tachycardia, seizures, mydriasis, and altered mental status. The patient received multiple doses of benzodiazepines to treat the seizures and developed respiratory insufficiency needing intubation. After extubation, the patient developed hyperactivity, myoclonic, and choreoathetoid movements which were unresponsive to benzodiazepines. Dexmedetomidine was started with good response. The patient made a full clinical recovery. This is the first case that illustrates the possibility to treat MDMA-induced agitation with dexmedetomidine in a 13-month-old infant.
