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

High-dose vitamin C therapy has gained increased interest as an adjunctive treatment of septic shock, although convincing evidence is still lacking. High blood levels of vitamin C may interfere with several point-of-care blood glucose meters. We describe the case of a 67-year-old septic patient known with chronic renal failure who developed truly severe hypoglycemia, which was masked by spuriously high glucose values measured on a capillary blood glucose meter. This initially led to the treatment of spurious hyperglycemia with high-dose insulin and a delayed correct diagnosis and treatment, rendering substantial risk for the patient. Awareness of this dangerous interference is warranted.
