Acute kidney injury as initial presentation of visceral leishmaniasis in a young patient- A case report.
Article in Annals of medicine and surgery (2012), 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 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
Introduction: Visceral leishmaniasis is endemic in Somalia and in East Africa at large. Clinically, patients present with recurrent fever, weight loss, hepatosplenomegaly and pancytopenia. Sometimes, patients in low resource countries with no properly functioning primary healthcare facilities may present with complications. Case presentation: Here, we report a case of 19 years old male patient who presented with impaired renal function. After diagnosing with VL and starting Sodium Stibogluconate, patient developed acute pancreatitis, that compelled us to shift to liposomal amphotericin B, which he responded well and finally was discharged within a good condition. Clinical discussion: Early diagnosis and proper treatment is necessary to restore the renal function. Conclusion: This case report elaborates some of the clinical presentations of VL, complications of treatment and encouraging physicians in endemic areas to keep VL into their list of differential diagnosis in patients with fever and hepatosplenomegaly.
