A spurious elevation of serum creatinine level in a patient with Crohn's disease without histologic kidney damage: a case report and review of the literature.
Review in Jornal brasileiro de nefrologia. 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
Patients with inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) are prone to develop kidney injury. Renal involvement in IBD patients is usually diagnosed by the measurement of serum creatinine and the estimation of the glomerular filtration rate. We describe a patient with IBD who presented with large fluctuations in his serum creatinine level (~3.0-fold) without significant histologic abnormalities and with a normal cystatin C level. This appears to be related to a high-protein diet and intermittent fasting. Even though the impact of a high-protein diet on mild elevations of the serum creatinine level has been described, large fluctuations in serum creatinine from diet alone, as seen in this case, have never been reported, raising the question about the potential contribution of inflamed bowel on gut absorption or metabolism of creatinine. This case highlights the importance of a detailed history, including the dietary habits, when encountering a patient with increased serum creatinine level, and careful interpretation of serum creatinine in a patient with a creatinine high-protein diet or underlying IBD.
