Etiologies, Clinical Features, and Outcome of Oxalate Nephropathy.
Article in Kidney international reports, 2020. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 45 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
backgroundOxalate nephropathy is a potentially underestimated cause of kidney failure characterized by massive deposition of calcium oxalate crystals in the renal parenchyma. The prevalence and modes of presentation of this entity are ill-defined.
methodsHere we report on the largest consecutive series of cases of adult oxalate nephropathy diagnosed on native kidney biopsies from January 2010 to December 2018 in the UCLouvain Kidney Disease Network.
resultsWe screened 2265 native kidney biopsies and identified 22 cases (1%) of oxalate nephropathy. Patients had a mean age at diagnosis of 61 years (±20) and presented either with acute on chronic kidney disease (CKD) (62%) or with acute kidney injury (AKI) (38%). Mean serum creatinine at biopsy was 8.0 ± 4.5 mg/dl. Kidney biopsies showed abundant calcium oxalate crystal deposits, associated with acute interstitial nephritis and tubular necrosis, and variable degrees of interstitial fibrosis and tubular atrophy. Chronic pancreatitis and gastric bypass were the most common causes of oxalate nephropathy (48%). During a mean follow-up of 29 months, half of the patients (52%) progressed to kidney failure, all within the month following diagnosis. Higher serum creatinine level at presentation and interstitial fibrosis and tubular atrophy score were associated with progression to kidney failure.
conclusionOxalate nephropathy is the cause of kidney disease in 1% of consecutive native kidney biopsies and typically presents as acute on CKD or AKI. The prognosis of the disease is poor, with a high rate of kidney failure within the first month after the diagnosis.
