Acute kidney injury caused by traditional Chinese medicinal scorpion: Case report.
Article in Medicine, 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
rationaleTaking scorpions (whether through traditional Chinese medicine decoctions containing scorpion or through cooking) carries a potential risk of nephrotoxicity, which deserves people's attention. PATIENT CONCERNS: This article reports a case of a 48-year-old patient who presented with diarrhea and abdominal pain for 3 days and biochemical tests revealed a significant increase in serum creatinine. Based on the clinical inquiry, biochemical examination and imaging report, it is highly suspected that AKI was caused by the medicinal scorpion. DIAGNOSES: Acute kidney injury.
interventionsThe treatment involved hydration therapy, along with metabolic promotion and gastric mucosa protection. OUTCOMES: Following the treatment, there was a notable reduction in periumbilical distention and pain, with laboratory indicators such as creatinine, urea and uric acid levels returning to normal within 12 days. Follow-ups at 1 week, 1 month, and 3 months after the patient's discharge revealed no signs of recurrence of abdominal pain or diarrhea. LESSONS: This provided a detailed basis and reference examples for the diagnosis of drug-induced AKI, assisting clinicians in making more accurate and efficient judgments regarding the causes when confronted with similar cases.
