A Case of Salt-Wasting 21-Hydroxylase Deficiency With Resistance to Aldosterone due to Urinary Tract Infection.
Article in Cureus, 2020. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
Classic salt-wasting 21-hydroxylase deficiency (21-OHD) often requires fludrocortisone (FC) replacement. However, the optimal dose of FC varies between patients and the dose needs to be adjusted depending on the degree of symptoms. Further, the aldosterone resistance due to urinary tract infections causes salt-wasting symptoms. We recently encountered a patient with 21-OHD who required up to 0.36 mg/day of FC in order to control hyperkalemia despite adequate hydrocortisone (HC) administration. This condition was presumed to be due to aldosterone resistance complications associated with urinary tract infections. Thus, if the initial treatment of 21-OHD with HC and FC is resistant, then one should consider complications that may cause aldosterone resistance, such as urinary tract infections.
