Tubulointerstitial nephritis and uveitis syndrome in a mother and her son.
Article in Pediatric nephrology (Berlin, Germany), 2008. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 6 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
A mother and her son, both with tubulointerstitial nephritis and uveitis syndrome (TINU) are reported. The nephritis presented itself at 13 years in the mother and at 10 years in her son. Glomerular filtration (GFR) decreased in both, and renal biopsies confirmed the diagnosis. Nephritis preceded the onset of uveitis in both. Clinical course and renal function improved quickly on oral steroids in the boy. The mother's hyperazotemia decreased spontaneously (without steroids), but not to normal range, and remained stable for 35 years of follow-up. Local steroids due to recurrences of uveitis were repeatedly needed in both. We believe this is the first report on familial occurrence of inherited TINU syndrome in two generations.
