Tuberculosis and pauci-immune crescentic glomerulonephritis.
Article in BMJ case reports, 2018. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 8 papers.
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 report here a case that highlights tuberculosis (TB) as a possible cause for pauci-immune crescentic glomerulonephritis (c-GN), an important and often treatable cause of kidney injury. A 47-year-old HIV-negative man of mixed ethnicity presented with a 2-week history of cough, haemoptysis and unintentional weight loss. Chest examination revealed crepitations over the right upper zone and urinalysis demonstrated an active urinary sediment with red cell casts. Chest radiograph confirmed right upper lobe cavitation. Serum laboratory investigations revealed a serum creatinine of 632 µmol/L and were negative for antineutrophil cytoplasmic antibodies. A diagnosis of pauci-immune c-GN was made on renal biopsy. In addition, sputum PCR confirmed infection with drug-sensitive
