[Acute renal failure and rare severe complication of systemic steroid treatment in a 73-year-old woman].
Review in Der Internist, 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
This article reports about a 73-year-old woman of Bosnian descent who presented with acute renal failure. A renal biopsy was diagnostic for a postinfect necrotizing and extracapillary proliferative glomerulonephritis. The patient reported a febrile infection fever 2 weeks previously. The diagnostics did not reveal any indications of an ongoing infection. The glomerulonephritis responded to treatment with systemic steroids. The patient was readmitted to hospital 6 weeeks later in a severely ill condition. A gastric biopsy revealed a Strongyloides stercoralis infestation. Due to the systemic steroid therapy the patient had developed a so-called hyperinfection syndrome and died despite treatment on the intensive care unit. This case illustrates the need for awareness of this rare parasitosis, particularly in patients from endemic areas. A likely causal relationship with the glomerulonephritis is discussed and an overview of the diagnostics, course of the disease and treatment of this parasitosis is given.
