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

Digoxin is a cardiac myocyte sodium/potassium ATPase inhibitor with a narrow therapeutic index used to treat patients with conditions such as heart failure with reduced ejection fraction and atrial fibrillation. Currently, digoxin-specific antibody fragments serve as a therapeutic option in patients with digoxin toxicity; however, the indications for digoxin-specific antibody fragments are inconsistent, and some sources report a serum digoxin concentration of >12 ng/mL as a treatment indication. We discuss a case of an asymptomatic elevated digoxin level of 13.5 ng/mL secondary to a dosing error, who was managed without digoxin-specific antibody fragments as well as a brief retrospective chart review for patients with a pacemaker presenting with a high digoxin concentration managed with and without digoxin-specific antibody fragments, with equivocal findings.
