Extraordinary Creatinine Level: A Case Report.
Article in Cureus, 2020. 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
Creatinine, an amino acid derived from creatine, has been traditionally used to assess kidney function. However, its levels are significantly affected by nutritional status, muscle mass, age, and sex of an individual. The effect of creatinine levels on human physiology is not completely understood, and no correlation has been established between high creatinine levels and physiological equilibrium. We describe a case of a 27-year-old Hispanic male who presented with extremely elevated serum creatinine level (>37 mg/dL) with minimal symptoms of uremia and relatively fair functional status, eventually requiring hemodialysis. To our knowledge, based on a thorough review of the literature using PubMed, Medline, and Google Scholar, only four other cases have been reported with a creatinine level higher than that of our patient. A brief discussion on the utility of serum creatinine levels to assess mortality is provided using examples from similar case reports.
