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

Surgical treatment of craniopharyngiomas in children can produce disorders related to water and sodium such as central diabetes insipidus (CDI) and cerebral salt wasting syndrome (CSWS). The combination of both in children is unusually reported in the literature and is associated with high mortality. The management of CSWS is based on fluid therapy. Fludrocortisone is useful in children with CSWS who do not respond to fluid management. The objective of the paper is to describe the case of 6 years and 10 months old male child with hypopituitarism secondary to a craniopharyngioma surgery performed 7 months before, who presented to the emergency department due to recurrent craniopharyngioma. The child presented a combination of CDI and CSWS following surgery for this recurrent tumor. Therapy with fludrocortisone was effective. Pediatric patients as the one of this report can help build the foundation for subsequent systematic reviews or trials.
