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

Glycyrrhizic acid, better known as licorice, is commonly found in various food and cosmetic products. Excessive consumption is known to cause a syndrome of apparent mineralocorticoid excess or pseudo hyperaldosteronism. Patients typically present with resistant hypertension and hypokalemia mimicking symptoms of primary hyperaldosteronism however laboratory workup will reveal low or normal levels of plasma renin and aldosterone in the serum. While diagnosis of licorice toxicity is relatively straight forward, the challenge lies in determining the culpable agent. We report the case of a Chinese man who initially presented with resistant hypertension and hypokalemia refractory to therapy and was later diagnosed with pseudo hyperaldosteronism secondary to licorice toxicity.
