Type 2 renal tubular acidosis presenting with joint pain: A case report and literature review.
Article in Medicine international. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 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
Fanconi syndrome (FS) can present with hypophosphatemia, renal glycosuria, hypouricemia and aminoaciduria. Phosphate depletion is the most critical clinical aspect of FS as it leads to osteomalacia. Some patients present with symptoms and signs related to hypophosphatemic osteomalacia (HO). Thus, these patients present with these symptoms and are misdiagnosed. From an investigation of the published literature, HO symptoms are found to be non-specific and were thus misdiagnosed in various centers. The present study describes the case of a a 46-year-old male with FS who suffered from joint pain and was first misdiagnosed. After he was referred to the authors' hospital, his case was evaluated and following a consideration of the results of this evaluation, he was diagnosed with idiopathic FS with multiple osteoporotic fractures. Furthermore, the present study performs a brief literature review other cases of patients that were misdiagnosed and whose symptoms were later found to be due to HO are also discussed. It is hoped that the present study may increase the awareness of HO among physicians and may help to draw attention to such cases of patients presenting with non-specific symptoms.
