A randomized controlled trial to assess the effect of isotonic normal saline versus water post-Ryles Tube feeding for correcting hyponatremia among ICU patients at tertiary care hospital: a pilot study.

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.
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
objectivesTo assess the effect of isotonic normal saline (NS) versus water post-Ryles Tube (RT) feeding upon hyponatremia and blood parameters in Intensive Care Units (ICU) admitted patients.
methodsA parallel group randomized controlled trial design. The total sample size taken for this pilot trial was N = 50 as a thumb rule (n = 25 in each arm) selected by using a simple random sampling method. The sample was ICU-admitted patients with mild and moderate hyponatremia.at tertiary care hospital, Rishikesh.
resultsThere was a significant difference found between the experimental and control groups for the post-test value of serum sodium levels, GCS, Systolic Blood Pressure, and Diastolic Blood Pressure (DBP) at day 1 of administration of normal saline intervention with
conclusionThe intervention of normal saline was found to be a cheaper and more effective remedy to treat hyponatremia and reduce mortality among ICU-admitted patients due to deterioration in bio-physiological parameters.
