Prevalence and incidence of hyponatremia and their association with diuretic therapy: Results from North India.
Article in Journal of family medicine and primary care, 2019. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 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.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
introductionHyponatremia is associated with substantial morbidity and mortality. Correct estimation of their prevalence, incidence and risk factors, especially the diuretics in Indian patients is important in determining preventive strategies.
methodsThis multistage mixed methods-based study was conducted in a high-volume cardiac care center to ensure the correct estimation. Patients receiving oral diuretics on an outpatient basis and those admitted to hospital for hyponatremia were enrolled.
resultsThe prevalence of hyponatremia was 27% while the incidence rate was 18% and 29% after 3- and 6-month of the diuretic therapy. The highest rates of hyponatremia were observed in warm season (45%, 111 in 247 patients). Multivariate logistic regression analysis revealed that low solute and nutritious intake and edematous state were negatively correlated with serum sodium levels. Neither diarrhea/vomiting nor diuretic use were found to be associated with hyponatremia.
conclusionsDiuretics use was not associated with hyponatremia in adults in this population cohort. However, elderly people on diuretics are comparatively more likely to have hyponatremia. However, a randomized parallel arm trial comparing diuretics with other antihypertensives be done to establish whether diuretics are associated with hyponatremia in this patient population.
