Rhabdomyolysis Following Rapid Correction of Acute Hyponatraemia in a Patient With Psychogenic Polydipsia.
Article in Cureus, 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
Rhabdomyolysis is a recognised but under-reported complication of acute hyponatraemia and its treatment, particularly in patients with psychogenic polydipsia. We report a case of a male in his 50s with recurrent psychogenic polydipsia who developed severe rhabdomyolysis as a potential result of both hyponatraemia and its subsequent rapid correction. Serum sodium was 117 mmol/L on admission and increased to 131 mmol/L within six hours on venous blood gas sampling following administration of hypertonic saline. Creatine kinase (CK) was already elevated at admission and rose sharply following rapid administration of hypertonic saline, peaking at 60,672 U/L, with preserved renal function throughout admission. Alternative causes of rhabdomyolysis were explored and systematically excluded. This case highlights the importance of cautious sodium correction, continued biochemical monitoring beyond initial stabilisation, and consideration of CK surveillance in high-risk patients.
