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

Bronchospasm is acute narrowing of the airways of lungs, which gives rise to wheezing and shortness of breath. Commonly seen in obstructive lung disease, but a rare finding in patients with hypocalcemia. This is a case that outlines a rare presentation of hypocalcemia induced bronchospasm in a patient with no known history of asthma or chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). In this report, we present a case of a 57 years old male with no history of asthma or COPD who presented with intractable bronchospasm. Initial work-up for common entities was negative. Patient was found to be profoundly hypocalcemic and treatment provided resolution of symptoms. Early recognition of hypocalcemia induced bronchospasm is important in clinical practice to optimize management and provide improvement in symptoms.
