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

We present a case of a man in his 70s who presented with worsening rectal and back pain associated with weight loss, dyspnoea and brownish discolouration of urine. Physical examination noted abdominal distention and epigastric tenderness. Laboratory investigations revealed acute kidney injury, hyperkalaemia, hyperphosphataemia and hyperuricaemia. Contrast CT of the abdomen/pelvis showed multiple, low-density masses throughout the liver, suspicious for metastatic disease. Oesophagogastroduodenoscopy demonstrated a large, fungating, infiltrative and ulcerated mass in the gastric body and lesser curvature of the stomach. Surgical pathology confirmed invasive moderately differentiated gastric adenocarcinoma. He met both the laboratory and clinical criteria for spontaneous tumour lysis syndrome (STLS) as per the Cairo-Bishop criteria. He was managed with aggressive fluid hydration, rasburicase and allopurinol, resulting in improvement in his renal function and laboratory findings. STLS of solid organ tumours, especially gastric adenocarcinoma, is rare and requires early detection with timely management to ensure favourable outcomes.
