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

backgroundHigh-dose rosuvastatin (40 mg) has been associated with transient proteinuria, particularly in patients with severe chronic kidney disease. CASE SUMMARY: We report a 59-year-old woman with a solitary kidney who developed proteinuria while on rosuvastatin 40 mg daily. The reduction of the dose to 10 mg daily led to complete resolution of proteinuria. DISCUSSION: The Food and Drug Administration recommendations advise a dose reduction of rosuvastatin to 10 mg in patients with severe chronic kidney disease, but no guidance exists for individuals with a solitary kidney and preserved renal function. This case suggests that these patients may be at risk of rosuvastatin-associated proteinuria and could benefit from lower doses. TAKE-HOME MESSAGES: Clinicians should use caution when prescribing high-dose rosuvastatin in patients with a solitary kidney. Further study is warranted to clarify whether solitary kidney status independently increases the risk of proteinuria.
