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

Tubulointerstitial nephritis with uveitis (TINU) syndrome is a rare oculorenal inflammatory disorder characterized by concurrent tubulointerstitial nephritis (TIN) and uveitis in the absence of an alternative systemic disease. We present a 57-year-old woman with acute kidney injury, euglycemic glycosuria, and simul-taneous non-granulomatous anterior uveitis. Kidney biopsy demonstrated eosinophil-rich chronic active tubuloin-terstitial nephritis with non-caseating granulomas. After excluding infectious, drug-induced, and systemic autoimmune etiologies, TINU syndrome was diagnosed. Corticosteroid therapy resulted in substantial renal function recovery. This case underscores the diagnostic reasoning required to identify TINU syndrome in adult patients and illustrates the structured clinicopathological approach that enables timely, evidence-based management.
