Failure to Thrive With Severe Hypokalemia Yields Cystinosis Diagnosis in a 19-Month-Old Female Child: A Case Report.
Article in Cureus, 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
Cystinosis is a rare, genetically inherited disease that affects lysosomal storage of cysteine. It is the most common cause of Fanconi syndrome. Mutations have led to early-onset end-stage renal disease as well as other systemic organ failures. In this case, we report a 19-month-old female child who presented acutely to the outpatient clinic with nausea, vomiting, and diarrhea. The patient was previously diagnosed with unspecified renal tubular acidosis and treated with oral electrolytes. Early labs during her acute presentation showed severe hypokalemia and electrolyte imbalance, which necessitated a transfer to a pediatric ICU. Through confirmatory testing, a diagnosis of cystinosis was made. This case is an example of the recognition and treatment of a rare inherited disease.
