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

Potassium disorders are common in patients treated in emergency departments or intensive care units and are associated with increased mortality. Severe hyperkalemia but also severe hypokalemia can lead to fatal arrhythmias and therefore necessitate emergency treatment. This article gives guidance on the diagnostic and therapeutic approach in patients with acute dyskalemia. Correct diagnosis requires not only a reliable measurement of serum potassium concentration but also knowledge of changes to the electrocardiogram caused by dyskalemia. This article outlines key steps in the treatment of hyperkalemia, including cardioprotection, shifting potassium into cells, and removing potassium from the body. Important pitfalls of potassium replacement in hypokalemia and the further approach after completion of initial emergency treatment are also reviewed.
