Severe Acute Interstitial Nephritis Induced by α-glucosidase Inhibitor Miglitol in an Elderly Patient with Type 2 Diabetic Nephropathy.
Article in Internal medicine (Tokyo, Japan), 2024. 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
A 79-year-old male patient with type 2 diabetic nephropathy and hypertension was admitted to our hospital because of acute kidney injury with significantly elevated serum creatinine (8.12 mg/dL) and urinary β2-microglobulin (β2MG, 31,748 μg/L) levels. α-glucosidase inhibitor (α-GI) miglitol, started two weeks prior to presentation, was discontinued because drug-induced acute interstitial nephritis (AIN) was suspected. Renal biopsy revealed AIN and diabetic nephropathy. The drug-induced lymphocyte stimulation test for miglitol was also positive. After the discontinuation of miglitol, the urinary β2MG levels decreased to the normal range. This case raises the possibility that α-GI miglitol can worsen the renal function in patients with underlying renal dysfunction.
