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

Key clinical message: Pseudohypoaldosteronism (PHA) carries a good prognosis if treated early and appropriately, but some cases can have life-threatening events. We underscored the need to consider secondary PHA as one of the differential diagnoses of hyponatremia and hyperkalemia in infancy. Abstract: Pseudohypoaldosteronism (PHA) type 1 has two classifications; the primary type, caused by genetic abnormalities that develop during neonatal and infancy periods, and the secondary type, caused by urinary tract malformation and urinary tract infection. Secondary PHA, if treated early and appropriately, has a good prognosis; however, some cases can present life-threatening events. Therefore, early diagnosis is crucial. We present a case of early infancy secondary PHA presented with marked hyponatremia and poor weight gain. The patient's growth and development improved with secondary PHA treatment. Here, were demonstrated the value of prompt action against infection and electrolyte imbalance and the importance of imaging for diagnosis, and underscore the need to consider secondary PHA as a differential diagnoses of hyponatremia and hyperkalemia in infancy. However further studies, including basic research, to elucidate the diseases pathology is warranted.
