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

Amlodipine is a commonly prescribed antihypertensive drug. We present a case of a young woman with a 70 mg amlodipine overdose admitted to our hospital with refractory hypotension and noncardiogenic pulmonary edema. She was initially managed in the intensive care unit (ICU) with intravenous sodium chloride 0.9% fluid boluses, calcium gluconate, and norepinephrine infusion, with poor response to therapy. After receiving phenylephrine 0.1 mg intravenous bolus, the patient showed improvement in blood pressure but experienced clinical worsening of pulmonary edema, which was subsequently managed with oxygen and furosemide therapy. With gradual clinical improvement, the patient was successfully discharged home on the fifth day. This case highlights that phenylephrine may be the drug of choice to treat refractory hypotension in amlodipine overdose without pulmonary edema.
