1 · What the graph read from 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.

2 · The registry

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 16-year-old boy presented with uveitis in both eyes with recurrent febrile illness and renal ailments. The patient was referred to a nephrologist. Subsequent investigations revealed acute tubulointerstitial nephritis in a renal biopsy and raised urinary beta-2 microglobulin (B2M). Based on his clinical findings and laboratory investigations, a diagnosis of tubulointerstitial nephritis and uveitis (TINU) syndrome was made. Since, the literature on TINU through India is sparse, the two available case reports were published through nephrology setup. Our case illustrates how ophthalmologist can aid in the diagnosis of such a rare clinical entity using interdisciplinary approach.
