Prolonged hiccups induced by renal infarction: a case report.
Article in Journal of medical case reports, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
backgroundHiccups are common symptoms that last for less than 48 hours. However, we encountered a case of renal infarction in a patient with prolonged hiccup. The relationship between hiccups and renal infarction is important in differentiating patients with prolonged hiccups. CASE PRESENTATION: An 87-year-old Japanese man with atrial fibrillation and receiving antithrombotic therapy presented to the emergency department with prolonged hiccups. The patient discontinued antithrombotic therapy for atrial fibrillation due to subcortical bleeding, after which he experienced right back pain. He was diagnosed with right renal infarction based on computed tomography images, and the antithrombotic therapy was continued. The patient's hiccups ceased, and he was discharged on hospital day 11.
conclusionHiccups can be induced by various clinical conditions. It is hypothesized that the inflammation of the right kidney infarction stimulated the diaphragm and induced prolonged hiccups in this patient; this theory is supported by the computed tomography images. This case report shows that internal organ diseases irritating the diaphragm can cause hiccups, and renal disease should be considered in patients with prolonged hiccups.
