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

backgroundBradycardia, Renal failure, Atrioventricular node blockade, Shock, and Hyperkalemia (BRASH) syndrome is an underrecognized but potentially fatal cardiometabolic emergency. Risk factors for developing BRASH syndrome overlap with comorbidities of patients undergoing coronary angiography. CASE SUMMARY: A 75-year-old woman with chronic kidney disease stage 4 developed contrast-induced nephropathy, profound bradycardia, and shock after percutaneous coronary intervention. Despite vasopressor support, her shock progressed to brainstem areflexia. Renal replacement therapy reversed her metabolic derangements and hemodynamic instability, leading to full neurologic recovery. DISCUSSION: This case highlights the rapid, life-threatening progression of BRASH syndrome, particularly in patients with chronic kidney disease receiving atrioventricular node blockers and contrast exposure. Early recognition, temporizing measures, and renal replacement were pivotal. TAKE-HOME MESSAGES: Patients undergoing coronary angiography may be at high risk for BRASH syndrome. Awareness, timely identification, and supportive interventions, including renal replacement therapy, can be lifesaving.
