The Concomitant Use of Atorvastatin and Amlodipine Leading to Rhabdomyolysis.
Article in Cureus, 2018. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 4 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
A 65-year-old man, with a history of hypertension and hyperlipidemia, presented with intractable lower back pain, shortness of breath, and decreasing urine output at the emergency room and was admitted after he was found to have elevated creatinine kinase levels of greater than 160,000 U/L. We discontinued all his home medications, which included atorvastatin and amlodipine. We trended his creatine phosphokinase (CPK) level daily and noticed it decreasing significantly off these meds. We hydrated him with normal saline and monitored his kidney functions. By the time he was ready for discharge, his CPK levels were back to normal. This case report summarizes the drug-drug interactions of atorvastatin and amlodipine.
