Rhabdomyolysis in a Long-Term Statin User Without Traditional Risk Factors: A Case Report.
Article in Cureus, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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 report a rare case of rhabdomyolysis in a 64-year-old man who had been receiving long-term statin therapy for hyperlipidemia. The patient initially presented with symptoms of acute appendicitis, which later progressed to acute renal failure and rhabdomyolysis. No commonly identified risk factors for rhabdomyolysis, including drug interactions and statin doses, were observed. The patient was urgently admitted to the intensive care unit where the relevant medications were discontinued in a timely manner and infusion resuscitation was performed. Renal function and serum creatine kinase levels gradually stabilized without the need for hemodialysis. After four days, the patient was transferred to a general ward and was fully discharged from the hospital 13 days after admission. This case highlights the importance of considering rhabdomyolysis as a possible complication among patients receiving statin therapy, even in the absence of traditional risk factors.
