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

Methemoglobinemia is a blood disorder in which there is an elevated level of methemoglobin. In contrast to normal hemoglobin, methemoglobin does not bind to oxygen, which leads to functional anemia. The signs of methemoglobinemia often overlap with other cardiovascular and pulmonary diseases, with cyanosis being the key sign of methemoglobinemia. Emergency physicians may find it challenging to diagnose cyanosis as a result of methemoglobinemia. Our patient is a healthy 28-year-old male, a heavy smoker, who presented to the emergency department with multiple minimum bruises on his body, claiming he was assaulted at work. He appeared cyanotic with an O
