ANCA associated glomerulonephritis in tuberculosis: a paradoxical reaction.
Article in BMJ case reports, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 5 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
We present a case of antineutrophil cytoplasmic antibodies (ANCA)-associated rapidly progressive glomerulonephritis in the context of treatment of pulmonary tuberculosis (TB). A 42-year-old woman was treated for drug-susceptible pulmonary TB and represented with paradoxical worsening of symptoms and radiological features. She was HIV negative. A severe acute kidney injury with features of glomerulonephritis was evident on admission. Perinuclear ANCA and antimyeloperoxidase antibodies were present in serum and renal biopsy was consistent with ANCA-associated vasculitis. The patient was successfully treated with both antituberculous therapy and immunosuppression (corticosteroids and mycophenolate mofetil) with subsequent clinical improvement and amelioration of renal function. We propose this is the first case that describes the association between paradoxical reactions during TB treatment and ANCA-associated glomerulonephritis.
