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

Tubulointerstitial nephritis and uveitis syndrome is an uncommon disease, probably underdiagnosed in clinical practice. Its aetiology and pathogenesis remain unknown. This syndrome is defined by an association of uveitis and tubulointerstitial nephritis, with no evidence of systemic disease or infection that might cause both ocular and renal inflammation. Renal and ocular manifestations may not occur simultaneously, making the diagnosis even more challenging. Treatment includes topical and oral corticosteroids. Renal involvement usually resolves spontaneously with full recovery of kidney function, however uveitis can persist or recur years after its initial presentation. We report a case of a 13-year-old girl with tubulointerstitial nephritis and uveitis syndrome.
