Tubulointerstitial nephritis and uveitis in monozygotic twin boys.
Article in Pediatric nephrology (Berlin, Germany), 2004. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 7 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled 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.
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
We describe monozygotic male twins who developed tubulointerstitial nephritis and uveitis (TINU) almost 2 years apart. They presented with non-specific symptoms and were noted to have glycosuria and renal impairment. Both children have uveitis. One had biopsy-proven interstitial nephritis and the other had biochemical evidence of transient tubular dysfunction. While the renal parameters improved, they are still under treatment for uveitis. The occurrence of TINU in identical twins at an interval of just under 2 years supports a strong genetic element in the aetiology of this syndrome. We believe this is the first report of male twins with TINU.
