Primary biliary cholangitis presenting with Fanconi syndrome: an important phenotype.

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 woman in her 50s was referred to nephrology clinic due to progressive chronic kidney disease. She exhibited features of proximal renal tubulopathy, namely Fanconi syndrome, including normoglycaemic glycosuria, normal anion gap metabolic acidosis, and intermittent hypouricaemia and hypophosphataemia. Kidney biopsy showed tubulointerstitial inflammation and focal chronic damage. In addition, antimitochondrial antibodies were present and she had abnormal liver blood tests. A unifying diagnosis of primary biliary cholangitis with an associated renal tubulopathy and interstitial nephritis was made. She was commenced on sodium bicarbonate, ursodeoxycholic acid and oral prednisolone, leading to an improvement in liver biochemistry. Kidney function was stabilised, but a sustained improvement was not seen. This case acts as a reminder of the rare association of tubulointerstitial nephritis and Fanconi syndrome with primary biliary cholangitis, which may be an under-recognised phenotype.
