Case Report: Virus-induced rhabdomyolysis ranging from mild course to acute renal injury, hyperferritinemia and poor outcome: a case series of four pediatric patients.

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-series of four healthy pediatric patients presenting with virus-induced rhabdomyolysis. Rhabdomyolysis is characterized by rapid breakdown of skeletal muscle, which can result in mild complications to acute kidney injury and even death. In children rhabdomyolysis is often virus-induced. In this case series we describe two pediatric patients with severe complications, including acute kidney injury, hyperferritinemia and even in one case liver failure and death. The rhabdomyolysis in the other two patients was caused by different viruses and had a milder presentation and good outcome after hyperhydration. Our cases highlight the variability in clinical outcome in virus-induced rhabdomyolysis. The outcome of our cases may suggest that hyperferritinemia can play a critical role in the pathophysiology of acute kidney injury and therefore may be used as an important biomarker for disease severity.
