Colchicine-induced rhabdomyolysis: a review of 83 cases.
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 2 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
A 74-year-old man with medical history significant for atrial fibrillation, hyperlipidaemia and coronary artery disease on atorvastatin presented to the emergency department with profound weakness. The patient reports he first noticed his weakness 4 weeks after starting colchicine, prescribed for recurrent pericarditis with pericardial effusion, a complication following recent coronary artery bypass grafting. The patient was also on prednisone therapy for presumed post-pericardiotomy syndrome. The weakness involved all four limbs but was more notable in the lower extremities, with preserved sensation and tenderness to palpation. Labs showed an elevated creatinine phosphokinase and serum creatinine consistent with rhabdomyolysis. Discontinuation of the offending medications, including colchicine and atorvastatin, as well as intravenous fluid resuscitation with physical rehabilitation, led to improvement in the patient's symptoms. He was eventually discharged to a rehabilitation facility to continue physical therapy.
