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

case summaryIn adults, T-wave inversion on the 12-lead electrocardiogram (ECG) often raises suspicion for ischemia. However, in young adults, other potential etiologies become more likely. We present the case of an 18-year-old woman with a history of depression who presented to the emergency department with nausea, fatigue, and tremulousness. The ECG revealed precordial T-wave inversions. TAKE-HOME MESSAGES: Lithium competitively inhibits channels and pumps that control both slow-response action potentials (sinoatrial, atrioventricular nodal cells), and fast-response action potentials (Purkinje fibers, cardiomyocytes). As such, lithium intoxication can present with a wide spectrum of ECG abnormalities, most commonly T-wave inversion and QT prolongation.
