[Hyponatremia in older persons (part I)-keep diagnosis simple : How to detect tricks and avoid pitfalls].
Article in Zeitschrift fur Gerontologie und Geriatrie, 2020. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 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
Old age is a strong independent risk factor for hyponatremia. Dizziness, fatigue, reduced vigilance, cognitive impairment, gait deficits, nausea, vomiting, headache, falls, osteoporosis and fractures, coma and seizures are more frequent and severe than in middle-aged patients. Hyponatremia is mainly caused by the syndrome of inappropriate antidiuretic hormone (SIADH) secretion and also including drugs. Hyponatremia is multifactorial in a significant proportion of older patients. Hyponatremia requires a staged diagnostic approach to identify the underlying cause. The aim of this continuing medical education (CME) report (part I) is to emphasize the special challenges in the diagnostics of hyponatremia, which occur in older patients. Diagnostics should be kept simple. A special algorithm is presented. Part II concerning treatment will follow.
