A unique presentation of hyponatremia and seizures in a 2-month-old child with cystic fibrosis: a case report.

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
Cystic fibrosis is an autosomal recessive disorder that causes a broad range of clinical findings and can present unusually as electrolyte disturbance, such as hyponatremia that causes seizures in children. Case presentation: We report a case of a 2-month-old infant who presented with an episode of grand mal seizure induced by hyponatremia and moderate episodes of milky vomiting after breastfeeding. Clinical discussion: Proper investigations showed normal cardiac and renal functions. Ultrasonography showed no pathological changes. Laboratory tests performed showed hyponatremia, mild hypokalemia, and hypochloremia. Urinary electrolyte results were normal. While broadening the scope of differential diagnosis in order to reach a final diagnosis, the sweat chloride level was elevated, which confirmed the diagnosis of cystic fibroses. Conclusion: We aim to share our case to keep cystic fibroses in mind as a differential diagnosis when dealing with hyponatremic seizures in children.
