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

Cyanosis is typically a sign of a potentially life-threatening condition in the emergency department and requires immediate workup and treatment. This case report highlights the diagnostic reasoning and clinical approach to cocaine- and volatile nitrite-induced methemoglobinemia (MHG). MHG is a rare, life-threatening cause of cyanosis. The diagnosis must be suspected in the emergency department in the presence of hypoxia and cyanosis disproportionate to cardiopulmonary repercussions and refractory to oxygen supplementation. Acquired causes are more prevalent than genetics, and recreational drugs should be highly suspected. Despite the rarity of this situation, cyanosis precipitants and the specificities of each hemoglobinopathy are reviewed in this article.
