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

Rhabdomyolysis is a clinical syndrome characterized by the breakdown of skeletal muscle tissue, leading to the release of myoglobin and creatine kinase (CK) into the bloodstream. The condition clinically presents with myalgia, weakness, and dark urine. It can lead to kidney failure and can be life threatening. Various factors and conditions, including trauma, prolonged immobilization, strenuous exercise, infections, alcohol consumption, medications, and malignancies are potential causes. A rare cause of pancreatic cancer-induced paraneoplastic myositis has been observed. Herein, we present the case of an 87-year-old man who presented with fatigue, weight loss, and invasive pancreatic adenocarcinoma resulting in rhabdomyolysis due to paraneoplastic myositis.
