Potentially fatal electrolyte imbalance caused by severe hydrofluoric acid burns combined with inhalation injury: A case report.

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
backgroundHydrofluoric acid (HF) is one of the most common causes of chemical burns. HF burns can cause wounds that deepen and progress aggressively. As a result, HF burns are often severe even if they involve a small area of the skin. Published cases of HF burns have mostly reported small HF burn areas. Few cases of HF inhalation injury have been reported to date. CASE SUMMARY: A 24-year-old man suffered from extensive hydrofluoric acid burns covering 60% of the total body surface area (TBSA), including deep second degree burns on 47% and third degree burns on 13% of the TBSA, after he fell into a pickling pool containing 15% HF. Comprehensive treatments were carried out after the patient was admitted. Ventricular fibrillation occurred 9 times within the first 2 h, and the lowest serum Ca
conclusionExtensive HF burns combined with an inhalation injury led to a potentially fatal electrolyte imbalance and ARDS. Adequate and timely calcium supplementation and ECMO application were the keys to successful treatment of the patient.
