Primary Sjögren's Syndrome First Presenting as Hypokalemic Quadriparesis.
Article in Archives of rheumatology, 2017. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 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
Hypokalemic paralysis and respiratory failure associated with distal renal tubular acidosis as first clinical manifestation of primary Sjögren's syndrome has been reported a few times. In this article, we describe the case of a previously healthy 38-year-old female patient who presented to the emergency department with a three-day history of dyspnea at rest and rapidly progressive generalized muscular weakness. Her initial work-up revealed an uncompensated hyperchloremic metabolic acidosis and severe hypokalemia. Additionally, urine pH of 8.0 and other findings consistent with distal renal tubular acidosis were found. We excluded the most common causes of distal renal tubular acidosis and finally established the diagnosis of primary Sjögren's syndrome. Our patient was treated with potassium citrate and later discharged on this treatment.
