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

Sjogren's syndrome (SS) is an autoimmune disease affecting multiple exocrine glands such as salivary and lacrimal glands, with focal lymphocytic infiltration. The disease predominantly affects women. The classic presentation is xerostomia and keratoconjunctivitis. In adult populations, tubulointerstitial nephritis, which can manifest as renal tubular acidosis (RTA), is the most prevalent renal manifestation of SS. However, in pediatric populations, RTA only occurs in 7.1-19.2% of cases with renal potassium wasting or hypokalemic paralysis. Here, we describe a case of SS manifesting with hypokalemic paralysis with underlying distal renal tubular acidosis (dRTA).
