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

Rhabdomyolysis is a condition caused by muscle breakdown. It can be usually associated with pain, weakness, and elevated creatinine kinase levels on laboratory testing. There are various triggers, some of which can include trauma, dehydration, infections, and, as in this case, autoimmune disorders. Here, we present a case of a patient with worsening muscle pain who was found to have elevated creatinine kinase levels and undiagnosed hypothyroidism, with symptoms improving with intravenous hydration and thyroid supplementation.
