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

Gitelman syndrome (GS) is salt-losing tubulopathy characterized by hypokalemia, hypomagnesemia, hypocalciuria, hyperreninemia, hyperaldosteronemia, metabolic alkalosis, and rarely hypocalcemia. Here, we describe the case of a 54-year-old man who presented with cerebellar signs and tetany. On investigation, he was found to have hypokalemia, hypocalcemia, hypomagnesemia, metabolic alkalosis, and high urinary chloride levels. On correction of metabolic parameters, he became asymptomatic. In cases of unexplained recurrent hypokalemia, hypocalcemia and hypomagnesemia, the diagnosis of GS should be considered.
