Renal Tubular Acidosis Causing Acute Hypokalemic Paralysis in Systemic Lupus Erythematosus: Sjogren's Syndrome Overlap.
Article in Cureus, 2020. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 6 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
Acute hypokalemic paralysis (AHP) is a reversible medical emergency either caused by excessive loss of potassium ions (K+) or increased intracellular shift of K+. Distal renal tubular acidosis (RTA) is an important differential to rule out in patients presenting with AHP. RTA is a constellation of disorders that have been associated with renal damage caused by autoimmune conditions such as systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) and Sjögren's syndrome (SS). Here we present a case of a 44-year-old woman with a history of SLE in the absence of kidney disease who presented with AHP and was found to have distal RTA and antibodies positive for SS concerning tubulointerstitial nephritis in the setting of SS/SLE overlap syndrome.
