Fluoroquinolone-Associated Tendinopathy: An Important Complication of Cyst Infection Management in Polycystic Kidney Disease.
Article in International medical case reports journal, 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 68-year-old man on hemodialysis treatment for end-stage kidney disease secondary to autosomal dominant polycystic kidney disease (ADPKD) complained of right ankle pain that impaired walking ability two weeks after the initiation of intravenous levofloxacin as a treatment for concomitant liver cyst infection. A systemic workup led us to conclude that our patient had a fluoroquinolone-associated tendon injury. Such a disease condition has been recognized as a serious adverse event resulting from the receipt of fluoroquinolones in various clinical settings. Fluoroquinolones have received focus as standard therapeutic agents for liver and/or renal cyst infection because of their lipophilic properties that lead to good penetration into infected cysts. However, reports on fluoroquinolone-associated tendinopathy in patients with ADPKD associated with cyst infection are sparse. We believe the current report illustrates the pitfalls associated with managing patients with ADPKD who are subjected to the administration of fluoroquinolones due to infectious complications.
