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

Hyponatremia is a common finding in patients admitted to hospitals in the USA. There is a plethora of causes ranging from excessive diuretic use to volume overload from underlying heart failure or liver cirrhosis. The consequences of missing or mistreating the aforementioned diagnosis can lead to catastrophic outcomes. Here, we focus on a rare yet overlooked cause of hyponatremia: obstructive nephropathy. The causes of obstructive nephropathy in elderly patients are broad with neurogenic bladder being one of the common ones. Our patient is an elderly male who presented with hyponatremia in setting of urine retention post an orthopedic surgery.
