Rhabdomyolysis with acute anuria renal failure caused by surgical injection-induced tetanus in an adult.

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
Tetanus is a rapidly progressive infection characterised by painful spasms and muscular rigidity with a series of complications including airway obstruction, respiratory failure, pulmonary infection, heart arrhythmias and acute kidney injury. Rhabdomyolysis with acute anuria renal failure is rarely reported as a complication in tetanus. We present a case of an adult who suffered from rhabdomyolysis combined with acute anuria renal failure caused by surgical injection-induced tetanus. This patient was treated with tetanus immunoglobulin, control of muscle spasm, mechanical ventilation and haemoperfusion plus continuous veno-venous haemofiltration (CVVH). The patient fully recovered and was discharged from hospital 5 weeks after admission. Good bowel preparation is an important prerequisite for preventing tetanus in a haemorrhoids operation. Effective control of muscle spasms with neuromuscular blockers and early administration of haemoperfusion plus CVVH are vital to the treatment of tetanus-induced rhabdomyolysis with acute renal failure.
