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
We report a case of tubulointerstitial nephritis with uveitis (TINU) diagnosed from isolated glucosuria detected during school urinary screening. The patient was a 12-year-old girl in whom glucosuria was detected during school urinary screening using a dipstick; however, urinary protein and occult blood were negative. There were no preceding symptoms of infection or medication. The patient visited the Fujita Health University Okazaki Medical Center two weeks after the school urinary screening for further examination. No edema or skin rash was observed. A urine test showed urinary glucose was positive and urinary β2-microglobulin was high; other values were almost normal. Mild renal dysfunction was observed. There was no hyperglycemia or high HbA1c level; therefore, diabetes mellitus was ruled out. Various autoantibody tests were negative, and the angiotensinogen-converting enzyme level was within the normal range. The patient was clinically diagnosed with idiopathic tubulointerstitial nephritis without a renal biopsy. Renal dysfunction tended to improve gradually after the first visit. Three months after the first visit, conjunctival congestion appeared in the right eye, and the patient was diagnosed with uveitis and eventually with TINU. When performing detailed examinations for urinary glucose, it is necessary to differentiate kidney disease as well as diabetes mellitus. Moreover, it is necessary to recognize that even if the urine dipstick test is negative for protein, it may be positive for low-molecular-weight protein.
