Encephalopathy in a kidney transplant recipient.
Article in BMJ case reports, 2019. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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 60-year-old man presented several times to the emergency department due to confusion and behavioral changes. He was a kidney transplant recipient dependent on hemodialysis due, presumably, to chronic nephropathy of the transplanted kidney, and was not under any immunosuppressive therapy. He was admitted to the hospital ward due to elevation of C reactive protein and severe proteinuria, leukocyturia and erythrocyturia. The alterations found in the spot urine examination were suggestive of nephritic syndrome, consistent with chronic nephropathy of the transplanted kidney. The neurologic deterioration, however, remained unexplained. CT of the brain and cerebrospinal fluid examination were unremarkable. Infection, auto-immune disease and malignancy were excluded. Corticoid therapy was started for rejection nephropathy. The patient improved dramatically and ultimately the transplanted kidney was removed. Chronic nephropathy of the transplanted kidney was confirmed histologically and the patient remained clinically asymptomatic, without corticoid therapy.
