Tubulointerstitial nephritis and uveitis syndrome in a patient with diabetic nephropathy: a case report and literature review.
Article in Frontiers 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
Background: The coexistence of tubulointerstitial nephritis and uveitis (TINU) syndrome with diabetic nephropathy is an uncommon clinical occurrence and poses diagnostic challenges. Case presentation: A 63-year-old female patient presented with ocular pain, conjunctival congestion, blurred vision, and photophobia. These manifestations were followed by a rapid deterioration of renal function. Renal biopsy revealed histopathological features consistent diabetic nephropathy, including interstitial nephritis and acute tubular injury. Ophthalmologic evaluation demonstrated bilateral anterior uveitis. After exclusion of other primary etiologies, a diagnosis of TINU syndrome complicated by diabetic nephropathy was established. Following treatment with glucocorticoids, ocular symptoms, renal dysfunction, and systemic inflammatory markers demonstrated marked improvement. Conclusion: TINU syndrome should be considered in individuals with diabetic nephropathy who develop acute kidney injury and concurrent uveitis. Early diagnosis through histopathological evaluation and multidisciplinary management are critical for improving clinical outcomes.
