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

In exclusively breastfed newborns, hypernatremic dehydration is associated with a free water deficit secondary to insufficient fluid intake. Failure of newborns to regain their birth weight by the 10th day of life should be investigated urgently. In this report, we present a case of a 2 -week-old girl who presented to our institution for 30% weight loss and was found to have severe hypernatremic dehydration associated with acute renal failure (creatinine 4 mg/dL). Upon further investigation, the breast milk sodium content was found to be extremely elevated (90 mEq/L). To our knowledge, the following reported case of severe neonatal hypernatremic dehydration associated with acute renal failure has the most elevated breast milk sodium content, serum sodium, and serum creatinine levels described in the literature. Thus, hypernatremic dehydration secondary to elevated breast milk content should always be borne in mind and investigated whenever suspected.
