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

Refeeding syndrome is characterized by electrolyte imbalances that occur during nutritional replenishment in malnourished patients. Hypomagnesemia is a potential complication.  We present a unique case of a female, young adult patient with anorexia nervosa who experienced persistent hypomagnesemia during inpatient refeeding that did not resolve with magnesium supplementation. Extended diagnostic evaluation included genetic testing that revealed heterozygous variants of uncertain significance in the PKD1 and SCNN1G genes as well as a pathogenic variant in the SMARCAL1 gene. These variants are not currently associated with a known renal disorder.  While the extensive work-up for persistent hypomagnesemia in the context of appropriate supplementation did not yield a definitive diagnosis, this case emphasizes the need to pursue alternative etiologies and treatments of unexpectedly refractory electrolyte abnormalities during the course of refeeding.
