Anti-mitochondria antibody-related tubulointerstitial nephritis accompanied by severe hypokalemic paralysis.
Article in CEN case reports, 2019. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 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
A 47-year-old man presented with severe hypokalemic paralysis and respiratory failure. A large amount of potassium was administered along with providing intensive care, and his condition improved. Hypokalemia was attributed to increased urinary potassium excretion. A kidney biopsy was performed to make a definitive histological diagnosis. It revealed acute tubulointerstitial nephritis (TIN). After the diagnosis, prednisolone was administered, and the TIN gradually improved. From the clinical course and laboratory findings, the TIN was presumed to be an autoimmune disorder. Further specific autoantibody tests were positive for anti-mitochondrial antibody (AMA), which has been gaining increasing attention in regard to TIN. In addition, all previous cases of TIN associated with AMA have affected females. The detailed pathogenetic mechanisms are as yet unclear and require further investigation.
