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

The differential diagnosis of acute stroke is often a challenge for the emergency care staff. In medical literature, about 30% of patients presenting in an emergency department with suspected stroke at initial assessment are actually stroke mimic. We report here a case of a 61-year-old woman who got admitted at the emergency service for an acute stroke that was actually a symptomatic hyponatremia due to a Schwartz-Bartter syndrome associated with an undiagnosed breast cancer. It is very important to quickly identify and manage patients presenting with a high probability of acute stroke even though many other pathological conditions can present with the same clinical onset. Electrolyte disturbances are one of those stroke mimic conditions that are usually reversible if properly identified and treated on time.
