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

Disorders of water and sodium homeostasis in the human body-or dysnatraemias-are frequently encountered in clinical practice, but their analysis is often complex and their management is often troublesome. For many clinicians, it remains challenging to correctly interpret all relevant biochemical parameters involved in the analysis of dysnatraemia, especially when a rapid 'bedside' evaluation is required to initiate treatment. By mathematically deriving the relationship between plasma osmolality and urine osmolality under physiological circumstances, we were able to propose a novel and clinically useful nomogram for the rapid evaluation of disorders of plasma osmolality. We believe that the presented osmolality nomogram could be a transparent and clinically useful tool for the quick evaluation of disorders of the water and sodium balance in patients.
