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

Diabetes mellitus is chronic disease with increasing prevalence, and may cause many organ complications, including kidneys. Reduced creatinine clearance and kidney failure are important, but hyperkalemia may be present in diabetic patients even before these problems. There may be many reasons of hyperkalemia in this group of patients. Type IV renal tubular acidosis is important cause of generally mild hyperkalemia, and it is a treatable condition. ''Polypharmacy'' -which is very common in diabetic patients due to accompanying other diseases- may trigger electrolyte imbalance. Underlying causes should be investigated and treatment should be done before it worsens.
