A Rare Case of Visual Hallucinations Associated With Hyponatremia.
Article in Cureus, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
Visual hallucinations are rare occurrences in patients presenting with hyponatremia. When they occur, the patient experiences these hallucinations with their eyes closed (vs. opened) and is insightful about the false perception. We present the case of a 64-year-old male diagnosed with hyponatremia caused by a gastrointestinal illness, which led to visual hallucinations. The patient was treated with electrolyte infusion, and the hallucinations were resolved. Detailed history-taking is significant when dealing with such cases as hallucinations to differentiate it from other causes. Hallucination caused by hyponatremia can resolve with prompt correction of sodium, and the patients can be reassured.
