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

Non-cardiogenic pulmonary edema is a rare but serious adverse reaction to hydrochlorothiazide. We present a case report of a patient who developed severe dyspnea and hypoxemic respiratory failure within 30 minutes of the first hydrochlorothiazide dose. Management consisted of supportive care, oxygen therapy, and avoidance of thiazide diuretics, consistent with prior reports. This case emphasizes the importance of recognizing hydrochlorothiazide-induced non-cardiogenic pulmonary edema as a rare but life-threatening adverse event, the limitations of relying solely on biomarkers such as procalcitonin, and the need for careful documentation to prevent re-exposure.
