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

Bradycardia, renal failure, atrioventricular nodal blockade, shock and hyperkalemia (BRASH) syndrome is named after the pentad of symptoms experienced by patients with this clinical entity, and is propagated via a synergistic mechanism. Herein, we describe a case of an 81-year-old male who presented with bradycardia, dyspnoea on exertion, and confusion. He was also initially found to be in cardiogenic shock. In a setting of elevated digoxin levels, acute renal failure and hyperkalemia, he was diagnosed with BRASH syndrome. Prompt interventions of continuous renal replacement therapy and digoxin antibody administration were performed to treat this patient. His renal function improved and his hyperkalemia and bradycardia resolved over the course of 4 days, and the patient was discharged to a subacute rehabilitation facility after stabilization. BRASH syndrome is a clinical entity requiring prompt diagnosis for life-saving treatment, including renal replacement therapy, vasoactive medications, transvenous pacing, and reversing agents, when appropriate.
