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

backgroundGitelman syndrome (GS) is an autosomal recessive renal tubular disorder characterized by renal wasting hypokalemia, metabolic alkalosis, hypomagnesemia, and hypocalciuria. It is usually caused by mutations in the gene CASE SUMMARY: Here, we report the case of a one-year-old girl who was brought to the emergency department due to persistent vomiting for two days. On admission to our hospital, generalized weakness was observed, and laboratory investigations revealed severe hypokalemia (1.9 mmol/L). However, persistent hypokalemia was observed during outpatient follow-up. Suspicion of the GS phenotype was assessed

conclusionWe successfully demonstrated the early diagnosis of GS using family genetic analysis. Any instances of hypokalemia should not be neglected, as early detection of GS with suitable treatment can prevent patients from potentially life-threatening complications.
