Acute Onset of Mesoamerican Nephropathy in a Patient With Chronic Gout and Occupational Exposure: A Case Report.
Article in Cureus, 2025. 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
Mesoamerican nephropathy (MeN) is a form of chronic kidney disease that is becoming increasingly prevalent. Multiple risk factors, including male gender, exposure to pesticides, heat stress, use of nephrotoxic medications, and a geographical association with Central America, have been linked to this condition. We present the case of a 40-year-old male from El Salvador who sought medical attention due to abnormal laboratory results and a flare-up of gout. The patient exhibited elevated creatinine and blood urea nitrogen (BUN) levels, with a significantly reduced glomerular filtration rate (GFR). His renal function had been stable three months earlier, when he had established care with his primary care physician. The patient had a history of agricultural work in El Salvador, along with long-term use of colchicine and nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) for gout flare-ups. Following consultation with nephrology, he was diagnosed with MeN due to his relevant risk factors and clinical presentation. This case highlights the acute onset of MeN in a patient with established risk factors.
