Severe Rhabdomyolysis Due to Presumed Drug Interactions of Dapagliflozin with Rosuvastatin: A Case Report.
Article in Indian journal of nephrology. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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
Sodium-glucose-cotransporter-2 inhibitors (SGLT2i) and statins are increasingly used for reduction of cardiovascular mortality in type 2 diabetics. Few case studies reported an enhanced risk of rhabdomyolysis with this combination. A 57-year-old man with normal renal functions, developed fatigue and oliguria within three days of dapagliflozin addition to his preexistent rosuvastatin therapy. Investigations revealed severe acute kidney injury (AKI) with elevated serum creatine-phosphokinase (CPK) and myoglobinuria. Renal biopsy depicted severe acute tubular necrosis with interstitial nephritis and ropy myoglobin casts, which confirmed the diagnosis of rhabdomyolysis. Rosuvastatin and dapagliflozin were discontinued. Hemodialysis and oral steroids were prescribed. The AKI recovered within few weeks. Rosuvastatin was rechallenged after two months and his renal functions and CPK levels remained normal. This case demonstrates the incidence of severe rhabdomyolysis when an SGLT2i was added to an existing statin, emphasizing the importance of identifying drug-drug interactions and potential for myotoxicity.
