Severe Cerebral Salt Wasting Complicating Arginine Vasopressin Deficiency After Traumatic Brain Injury.
Article in JCEM case reports, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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.
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
Disturbances of water and sodium homeostasis may occur after traumatic brain injury. We report a 20-month-old girl who had a disturbance of water balance consisting of arginine vasopressin deficiency (AVP-D), extreme cerebral salt wasting (CSW), and finally permanent AVP-D following severe traumatic head injury. Magnetic resonance imaging of the brain showed transection of the pituitary stalk and the absence of a posterior pituitary bright spot. Her fluid balance disorder was also complicated by ACTH and TSH deficiency. The CSW phase was characterized by severe hyponatremia with dramatic polyuria and natriuresis and required aggressive fluid replacement with hypertonic saline in addition to vasopressin infusion and fludrocortisone. This case highlights the dynamic nature of fluid balance disorders after brain injury, the importance of recognizing the distinctive patterns of plasma and urine parameters in each condition, and the aggressive management required to treat severe cerebral salt wasting.
