A diagnostic dilemma in a child with Wilson's disease.
Article in Pediatric nephrology (Berlin, Germany), 2026. 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
backgroundWilson's disease (WD) is a rare copper (Cu) metabolism disorder with toxic organ accumulation. Diagnosis challenges persist in children with atypical multisystem presentations, including uncommon kidney involvement, that may mimic autoimmune and systemic diseases. CLINICAL PRESENTATION: A 10-year-old girl presented with recurrent jaundice, abdominal pain, weight loss, poor school performance, and polyuria. She had cachexia, hepatosplenomegaly, kinetic hand tremors, non-immune hemolytic anemia, and mild glomerular and tubular dysfunction. Urosepsis triggered decompensation with worsening hepatic function, acute kidney injury (AKI) with Fanconi-like tubulopathy, coagulopathy, low complements, + ve autoantibodies, and elevated IgG. Despite autoimmune and malignancy mimics, Cu studies confirmed WD; D-penicillamine and zinc achieved rapid hepatorenal and hemolysis recovery. Fibrosis regressed at 1 year despite late ocular affection.
conclusionThis case underscores diagnostic challenges of pediatric WD with multisystem involvement mimicking autoimmune and malignant disorders, emphasizing early Cu studies in multisystem jaundice. Timely chelation therapy achieved rapid improvement.
