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

Rhabdomyolysis is a complex medical condition characterized by muscle necrosis and the release of intracellular components into the circulation. Although its most common cause is a direct traumatic injury, it can result from non-traumatic factors as well, including infection, toxins, and drugs. Serum creatine phosphokinase (CPK) levels are usually elevated in this condition and they correlate with the severity of the muscle damage (the higher the CPK peak, the greater the magnitude of muscle damage), although lower levels of CPK do not necessarily rule it out. The common complications associated with rhabdomyolysis include acute kidney injury, compartment syndrome, and, in rare cases, peripheral neuropathy. In this report, we present a case of a young patient, with a history of alcohol abuse, who presented with bilateral numbness of the feet post-immobilization and was subsequently found to have severe rhabdomyolysis.
