TINU-associated Fanconi syndrome: a case report and review of literature.
Review in BMC nephrology, 2018. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 4 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
backgroundTubulo-interstitial Nephritis and Uveitis (TINU) syndrome is a rare oculo-renal inflammatory disease. Renal tubular defects are usually found, but full proximal tubular abnormalities have rarely been described. CASE PRESENTATION: We report the case of a 55-year old woman, native from Morocco, presenting with bilateral, non-granulomatous, anterior uveitis, mild renal insufficiency, leucocyturia and glycosuria. Further work-up showed hypophosphatemia and hyperphosphaturia, hypouricemia and hyperuricosuria, and hyper aminoaciduria, consistent with Fanconi syndrome. A kidney biopsy was obtained and showed diffuse interstitial infiltrates with tubular necrosis. The patient improved after the initiation of a corticosteroid therapy, with tapering dose.
conclusionsWe reviewed the literature and found nine similar cases. This association mostly occurs in adult woman, without current evidence for an ethnic predilection, unlike previously reported. The renal prognosis seems favorable after corticosteroid therapy, even in case of severe renal injury. Nonetheless mild tubular defects may persist after treatment or spontaneous remission.
