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

Seizures secondary to hypocalcemia have been well documented and studied. There are various causes of hypocalcemia described in the literature, but a prolonged seizure episode leading to cell lysis, severe hyperphosphatemia, and hypocalcemia is rarely reported. We present the case of a 3-year-old male with severe hyperphosphatemia and hypocalcemia secondary to the likely presence of cell lysis from prolonged seizure activity. Our case illustrates the importance of a thorough evaluation of the possible differentials of hypocalcemia and hyperphosphatemia in a challenging presentation.
