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

abstractAcute intermittent porphyria (AIP) is a dominant mendelian disorder caused due to deficiency of the enzyme porphobilinogen deaminase. It classically presents with pain abdomen, hypertensive crisis, electrolyte imbalance, mostly hyponatremia, and neuropsychiatric involvement. We report a case of a 12-year-old boy with AIP who experienced an acute crisis and later developed altered sensorium and seizures. Upon evaluation, he was found to have severe hyponatremia, which was secondary to the syndrome of inappropriate antidiuretic hormone secretion. His condition was corrected with intravenous hypertonic saline, and his sodium levels normalized over 2-3 days. Despite the successful correction of sodium levels, he developed extrapyramidal symptoms a week later. Magnetic resonance imaging of the brain revealed extrapontine myelinolysis. He was treated with intravenous steroids, which led to significant improvement. At 1-month follow-up, there were no neurological deficits.
