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

Medication errors have the potential to cause serious toxicity and hospitalization. This case report describes a 25-year woman who suffered serious side effects and was ‎hospitalized after receiving intravenous ipratropium bromide/salbutamol. This was due to a medication error in its preparation and administration. The caregiver diluted an intravenous antibiotic with the incorrect diluent (nebulizer solution), which led to serious toxicity, including acute urine retention and sinus tachycardia, and then resulted in patient hospitalization. A literature review of case reports was conducted to compare and identify the pattern of ipratropium/salbutamol-induced acute urinary retention. The present report underscores the importance of clinical awareness about medication-induced acute urine retention. Furthermore, it is crucial that physicians inform and educate the patients and their carers about double-checking doses and labelling before administering medication, particularly for intravenous drugs.
