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

We present a case of hemichorea in a patient with nonketotic hyperglycemia (NKH), a rare presentation of hyperglycemia. A 55-year-old female with diabetes presented to the emergency department with involuntary bilateral upper and lower limb movements for five days. The patient had a serum glucose level of 358 mg/dL (19.87 mmol/L) and improved after controlling blood sugar levels. When we encounter a case of chorea in the emergency department, high blood sugar levels are an essential underlying reversible etiology to be kept in mind.
