A lifesaving improvised peritoneal dialysis on a toddler with acute kidney injury following a swarm of bees' sting at Iringa Regional Referral Hospital, Southern Highland-Tanzania: a case report.
Article in Journal of medical case reports, 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
backgroundPeritoneal dialysis as one of the nephrology services in children with acute kidney injury is a safe and cost-effective modality of treatment in low and lower-middle income countries. Despite evidence of its effectiveness in limited resource settings, the service is still provided only in tertiary level healthcare facilities in Tanzania. CASE PRESENTATION: In this case report, we narrate the survival of a 22-month-old male patient of African descent with an acute kidney injury following a swarm of bees' stings at home. A lifesaving, although low-quality and high-risk, peritoneal dialysis was performed for 5 days at Iringa Regional Referral Hospital, a secondary level health facility in rural Tanzania with lack of standard and recommended expertise, laboratory investigations, and equipment.
conclusionLower- and middle-income countries in collaboration with stake holders should ensure that this service is available, accessible, and safe in the lower-level health facilities, given that access to the tertiary-level facilities is inadequate and time limited, hence serving a larger population.
