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

Amlodipine is a widely prescribed drugs for the management of hypertension. Its toxicity is associated with severe myocardial depression and refractory hypotension. We present a case of a 28-year-old female known case of seizure disorder and depression who got admitted to our hospital with a history of consumption of 80 tablets of 5 mg amlodipine (total 400 mg). Patient presented to our hospital after 23 hours following consumption of the drug. Patient was managed in the intensive care unit (ICU) with mechanical ventilation support and intravenous infusion of noradrenalin, adrenalin, insulin-dextrose, and calcium gluconate. Due to refractory hypotension, venoarterial extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (VA-ECMO) was initiated on the same day. Patient was successfully managed and discharged home on the 8th day. This report highlights a rare case of a massive amlodipine overdose (400 mg) and ECMO as a rescue therapy. HOW TO CITE THIS ARTICLE: Sutar A, Venkategowda PM, Murthy A, Chikkaswamy SB.
