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

Ethylene glycol (EG) is a hazardous alcohol present in various household and industrial products. After being metabolized by ethanol dehydrogenase and aldehyde dehydrogenase, it can produce glycolate, acetaldehyde, and oxalate, leading to acute kidney injury. Renal failure is mainly caused by tubular damage induced by metabolites such as glyoxylate and oxalate, and may also be related to tubular obstruction caused by oxalate crystal precipitation. A 35-year-old Chinese man was brought to the emergency department in an unconscious state with a suspected history of EG ingestion. Laboratory examination revealed significant metabolic acidosis with elevated anion gap, acute kidney injury, and hyperkalemia, suggestive of possible EG poisoning. Renal biopsy revealed acute tubular necrosis, with numerous oxalate crystals forming in the tubules of the patient, confirming the diagnosis of EG poisoning with oxalate nephropathy. Treatment included fluid resuscitation, bicarbonate therapy, ethyl alcohol administration, and hemodialysis. After early and active treatment, the patient's consciousness recovered, acidosis improved significantly, and no further dialysis treatment was required.
