Upper Gastrointestinal Bleeding Secondary to Sodium Polystyrene Sulfonate Use: A Rare Adverse Effect of Commonly Prescribed Treatment.
Article in Case reports in gastrointestinal medicine, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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
We report a case of a 62-year-old man who was brought in by emergency medical services after a fall and change in mental status. He was found to have severe hyperkalemia, acute kidney injury, and rhabdomyolysis. The hyperkalemia was treated with sodium polystyrene sulfonate (SPS). During hospitalization, he witnessed having black tarry stools along with a significant drop in hemoglobin. Endoscopic evaluation demonstrated nonbleeding large diffuse gastric ulcers with stigmata of recent bleeding, and ulcer biopsy revealed findings consistent with SPS-induced gastric ulceration. No other source of bleeding was localized, suggesting acute upper gastrointestinal bleeding due to SPS mucosal injury.
