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

Gamma-hydroxybutyrate (GHB) is a central nervous system depressant that has gained popularity as an illicit recreational drug. We describe a case of an elderly woman who was found unconscious in her home. The paramedics initially suspected an intracranial incident. A head computed tomography was negative, as was the initial urinary drug screening. The diagnosis of GHB intoxication was made with the detection of GHB in a urine sample obtained 28-29 hours after the assumed time of intake. Our case underscores the importance of considering drug testing in a broad range of patients and shows that elderly patients may have an extended detection window of GHB.
