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

A 70-year-old woman, hospitalised for asymptomatic hyponatraemia secondary to syndrome of inappropriate antidiuretic hormone secretion (SIADH), required emergency intubation due to severe acute respiratory failure and haemodynamic instability following broncho-aspiration of a salt tablet. We hypothesise that a pathophysiological mechanism resembling saltwater drowning may have contributed to the clinical presentation. LEARNING POINTS: Salt tablet broncho-aspiration could be associated with severe hypoxaemia and haemodynamic instability.The pathophysiology of salt tablet broncho-aspiration may mimic drowning in saltwater.
