Hiccups: You got to be kidney me!
Article in SAGE open medical case reports, 2020. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled 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.
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
Hiccups are usually benign processes that most people experience with spontaneous resolution. However, persistent hiccups with a duration greater than 48 h may prompt a thorough workup for structural, infectious, or inflammatory disorders. Moreover, toxic-metabolic states, including renal dysfunction and/or uremia, have also been identified as sources of hiccups. We present a 62-year-old male with persistent hiccups that developed acute, worsening renal function. Workup for a possible intrinsic renal disease process was negative. Ultimately, a kidney biopsy was performed, demonstrating acute tubular injury with oxalate crystals and interstitial fibrosis. Dialysis was initiated with resolution of the hiccups, and kidney function improved over an extended period of time.
