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

Antineoplastic agents are often associated with a wide range of side effects, caused by either direct toxicity or indirect through their metabolism. Ifosfamide is a cytotoxic, antineoplastic medication that is known to cause a direct tubular injury with an associated normal anion gap metabolic acidosis due to type 1 or type 2 renal tubular acidosis (RTA). The manifestations and approach to its diagnosis have been well established. However, we present a case in which a patient presented with acute symptomatic hypokalemia in the setting of ongoing ifosfamide use for metastatic osteosarcoma but without the typical laboratory findings. The clinical- and laboratory-driven diagnosis of suspected type 3 renal tubular acidosis involving proximal and distal segments is suggested by this case report.
