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

A 30-year-old man admitted with renal dysfunction (serum creatinine, 8.19 mg/dL) was diagnosed with immunoglobulin A nephritis through a renal biopsy. He was treated with intravenous methylprednisolone pulse therapy and urgent hemodialysis, and eventually, he underwent maintenance hemodialysis. On day 108, he developed amnesia. Magnetic resonance imaging revealed bilateral basal ganglia lesions. Wernicke encephalopathy (WE) was diagnosed based on decreased serum thiamine concentration (12.8 μg/dL; reference range, 24-66 μg/dL). Thiamine replacement therapy was initiated, but the Wernicke-Korsakoff syndrome persisted. Careful monitoring of thiamine is required in patients undergoing dialysis. In addition, patients with WE may exhibit bilateral basal ganglia lesions.
