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

Tetany is characterized by numbness and stiffness in the hands and feet caused by hypocalcemia, hypomagnesemia, and hyperventilatory alkalosis, primarily at peripheral neuromuscular junctions. Although hypocalcemia is common in critically ill patients, its diagnosis of hypocalcemia is complicated and sometimes overlooked. We encountered an 82-year-old woman with tetany that exacerbated heart failure. Pain and respiratory failure due to tetany are conditions that can lead to exacerbation of heart failure. Chronic renal failure is frequently associated with chronic heart failure, and regular follow-up of calcium, phosphorus, and magnesium levels is necessary for such patients.
