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

backgroundHemodialysis is often recommended to treat severe lithium poisoning. Nevertheless, the application rate of hemodialysis in patients with lithium poisoning is varied across different groups and the effect of hemodialysis is still undetermined. Therefore, this study aimed to analyze the hemodialysis rate of patients with lithium poisoning and to explore the clinical features of lithium-poisoned-patients treated or untreated with hemodialysis.

methodsBetween 2001 and 2019, 36 patients treated at the Chang Gung Memorial Hospital for the management of lithium poisoning were stratified according to whether they were treated with hemodialysis (

resultsThe patients were aged 50.7 ± 18.1 years. The poisoning patterns were acute on chronic (61.1%), chronic (25.0%) and acute (13.9%). The precipitating factors of dehydration and infection were noted in 36.1% and 25.0% of patients, respectively. Bipolar disorder (72.2%), depressive disorder (27.8%) and psychotic disorder (11.1%) were the top three psychiatric comorbidities. The hemodialysis group not only had a lower Glasgow Coma Scale (GCS) score (

conclusionThe analytical results revealed zero mortality rate and low hemodialysis rate (1.9%). Compared with patients without hemodialysis, patients receiving hemodialysis suffered severer lithium-associated complications and needed a more intensive care unit admission and longer hospital stay.
