Unveiling the Hazards: A Case Report on Kayexalate-induced Colonic Necrosis.
Article in Journal of community hospital internal medicine perspectives, 2023. 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
Sodium polystyrene sulphonate (SPS), employed in the management of severe hyperkalemia, is typically combined with sodium sorbitol to avert potential intestinal obstruction. Nonetheless, the administration of Kayexalate, even in the presence of minimal sorbitol, can lead to the grave complication of colonic necrosis. We present a case of Kayexalate-mediated colonic necrosis, highlighting the vital necessity of acknowledging the inherent risks associated with its usage in spite of its efficacy in potassium reduction. In light of these potential risks, it is incumbent upon physicians to exercise caution, and contemplate the use of alternative pharmacological agents that effectively eliminate excess potassium, whilst minimizing associated adverse effects.
