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

Gemfibrozil is a lipid-regulating agent used mainly to treat patients with hypertriglyceridaemia, especially those at risk for acute pancreatitis. Like any other pharmacological agent, gemfibrozil has known adverse effects, mainly gastrointestinal, such as cholelithiasis, gallstones, elevated transaminase, and other non-specific symptoms including dyspepsia, nausea and vomiting. Other reported adverse reactions are dizziness and vertigo, myopathy and rhabdomyolysis, angioedema, urticaria and rash. As far as we knew, gemfibrozil does not have urinary tract adverse reactions. In this report, we present a case of polyuria secondary to gemfibrozil with a score of 9 on the Naranjo scale, and a literature review. LEARNING POINTS: Gemfibrozil has known, mainly gastrointestinal, adverse effects.We aim to increase awareness of the urinary side effects of gemfibrozil so unnecessary investigations can be avoided.
