1 · What the graph read from it

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.

2 · The registry

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

Hashimoto's thyroiditis manifesting as hypothyroidism has been implicated in glomerular disorders due to autoantibody formation. Here we present the case of a 26-year-old male without any comorbidities presenting with easy fatiguability and weight gain for 2 months. He was found to have a creatinine of 2.1 mg/dL with a history of rhinitis treated with anti-histaminic three days prior to the hospital visit. He had symptoms of intermittent myalgia for the past two weeks. On laboratory evaluation, he was found to have raised CPK, elevated TSH, low normal T4, and positive anti-TPO and anti-Tg antibodies. Neck ultrasound revealed linear echogenic septations in the thyroid gland. Renal biopsy revealed acute tubular injury. Appropriate thyroxine supplementation was started and his creatinine decreased to 1.2 mg/dL after 1 month. It is important that clinicians should be aware of this rare kidney presentation in Hashimoto's thyroiditis.
