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

A 41-year-old woman presented by ambulance with a 1-day history of new-onset paralysis and nausea and vomiting ongoing for 48 hours. She had no history of any similar episodes. Biochemical analysis showed profound hypokalaemia with a non-anion gap metabolic acidosis. Her initial serum chloride was within the normal range. She had significant electrocardiographic changes on admission with ST depression, U waves and a prolonged QT interval. Urinary anion gap supported the diagnosis of a distal renal tubular acidosis. Subsequent connective tissue disease serology confirmed previously undiagnosed Sjogren's syndrome. Successful recovery for this patient required multidisciplinary input from the intensive care, nephrology and neurology teams.
