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

Malignant hyperthermia (MH) is a genetic skeletal muscle disorder characterized by hypermetabolic crisis usually triggered by anesthetic drugs. Non-anesthesia-triggered or awake MH is rare or under-reported. Other than anesthetic drugs, identified common triggers are exercise, fever, and viral infection. The literature does not report any awake MH cases triggered by dengue fever. We report a possible case of dengue fever-triggered awake MH. The main aim of reporting this case is to raise awareness of possible malignant hyperthermia in dengue patients and of a clinical grading system (CGS) for early diagnosis, as early treatment with dantrolene sodium reduces the mortality rate.
