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

We present a case of acute psychosis in a patient with panhypopituitarism admitted for adrenal crisis secondary to insufficient glucocorticoid replacement. Three months prior, she was admitted for a similar episode of adrenal crisis and underwent intubation; however, at that time her mental status was normal with no reported episodes of delirium or psychosis. After extubation, she was found to have psychotic symptoms which waxed and waned and were vaguely responsive to antipsychotics. She was ultimately stabilized and discharged, only to return three months later after missing multiple doses of her prednisone. During her current presentation, she had a recurrence of her waxing and waning mental status, which was presumed to be an organic result of her prior hypotension and anoxia vs. a primary psychotic break. In retrospect, it was largely dependent upon whether she received her scheduled steroids. Once her adrenal crisis had passed her cognition improved with daily steroid replacement and antipsychotics were unnecessary.
