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

Lactic acidosis occurs from an overproduction of lactate or decreased metabolism. It is common in critically ill patients, especially those with hematological conditions such as multiple myeloma, leukemia, and lymphoma. There are two types of lactic acidosis, Type A and Type B, with Type B presenting more commonly in hematological conditions that require prompt diagnosis and treatment of the underlying condition. We present a case of a 43-year-old male with Type B lactic acidosis secondary to stage IV colon cancer with metastasis to the liver. Initial laboratory work was significant for lactic acid of 16.52 mmol/L. Arterial blood gas (ABG) showed pH 7.26, pCO
