Unmasking Distal Renal Tubular Acidosis in a Young Female: A Case of Metabolic Acidosis With Hypokalemic Paraparesis.

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
This case report aims to highlight the diagnostic challenge and clinical significance of type 1 distal renal tubular acidosis (dRTA) in young patients presenting with hypokalemic paralysis. A 19-year-old female presented with vomiting, progressive lower limb weakness, and severe hypokalemia. Investigations revealed normal anion gap metabolic acidosis, elevated urinary pH, and renal potassium loss. After ruling out other causes, a diagnosis of dRTA was made. She responded well to potassium and bicarbonate therapy. Early recognition and treatment are essential to prevent complications and ensure full recovery.
