1 · What the graph read from it

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.

2 · The registry

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

backgroundNon-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) are extensively utilized for their analgesic and anti-inflammatory properties; however, their potential to induce renal adverse events remains a significant clinical concern. NSAID-induced interstitial nephritis (IN) and renal tubular acidosis (RTA) are rare but important complications of prolonged NSAID consumption. NSAID-induced RTA has been documented in limited case reports and usually resolves after stopping NSAIDs. However, our case shows a persistent, severe hypokalemia and hypophosphatemia linked to RTA from NSAID-induced IN, which resolved with steroid therapy. CASE SUMMARY: A 70-year-old woman with a history of chronic NSAID use presented with weakness and palpitations. She had atrial fibrillation, severe hypokalemia (K 1.5 mmol/L), non-anion gap metabolic acidosis (HCO

conclusionOur patient exhibited persistent metabolic disturbances even after the cessation of NSAID therapy. Despite moderate chronicity, active interstitial inflammation responded favorably to corticosteroid treatment, resulting in improved renal function and restoration of tubular function, with normalization of acid-base and electrolyte parameters.
