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

Malignant hyperthermia (MH) is a rare but life-threatening disorder induced by volatile anesthetics or depolarizing muscle relaxants. Studies have reported the increased prevalence of hyperglycemia among patients susceptible to MH. Herein, we present the case of a 13-month-old toddler who had successfully undergone dextro-transposition of the great arteries and required main and bilateral pulmonary artery augmentation because of residual pulmonary atresia. The patient exhibited atypical manifestations of MH including hyperglycemia with an inadequate insulin response during the perioperative period. The hyperglycemia resolved following administration of dantrolene, the antidote for MH. Research has associated intracellular calcium leaks with reduced glucose storage in human muscle. Metabolic alterations in patients susceptible to MH may predispose them to hyperglycemia during acute MH episodes.
