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

Thyrotoxic periodic paralysis (TPP) is a rare life-threatening condition most commonly seen in individuals between the ages of 20-40 years. It is most prevalent in Hispanic and Asian populations. Here we present a case report of a young male patient admitted to our facility with an acute onset of paralysis. He was found to have new-onset hyperthyroidism and severe hypokalemia. TPP was exacerbated by the intake of a high-carbohydrate meal as well as a steroid injection within 24 hours of symptom onset.
