Exercise-Induced Rhabdomyolysis Causing Acute Kidney Injury: A Potential Threat to Gym Lovers.
Article in Cureus, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 12 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
Rhabdomyolysis, by definition, means the breakdown of muscles. The common causes are trauma, immobility, illicit drug use, medications, toxins, infections, potassium imbalance, hypothyroid or hyperthyroid states, hypothermia or hyperthermia, and some congenital muscular dystrophy. Exercise or exertion-induced rhabdomyolysis is a very uncommon entity and potentially rising among young generations amid getting perfect body shape as influenced by social platforms. However, rhabdomyolysis can lead to lethal complications, most commonly acute kidney injury leading to dialysis, disseminated intravascular coagulation (DIC), and acute compartment syndrome. Here we report a case of exertion-induced rhabdomyolysis causing acute renal failure in a young patient who presented to the emergency room at The Kidney Center, Karachi, after exercising at the gym. The patient was subsequently treated with hemodialysis and was discharged after six days of hospital admission.
