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

Ketamine-associated diseases have been increasing with the rise in ketamine abuse. Ketamine-associated uropathy is one of the most common complications. We investigated the effects of ketamine-associated uropathy on renal health and determined predictors of renal function decline in chronic ketamine abusers. This retrospective cohort study analyzed 51 patients (22 with ketamine-associated hydronephrosis and 29 with ketamine cystitis) from Kaohsiung Veterans General Hospital in Taiwan. Primary renal outcome was end-stage renal disease or estimated glomerular filtration rate decline >30% from baseline. Compared with the ketamine cystitis group, the hydronephrosis group had lower initial and final estimated glomerular filtration rates and higher alkaline phosphatase and gamma-glutamyl transferase levels (
