Acute Kidney Injury Associated With Red Yeast Rice (Beni-kōji) Supplement: A Report of Two Cases.
Article in Kidney medicine, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 11 papers.
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
Numerous health concerns, primarily kidney injury, have been reported with the use of Beni-kōji CholesteHelp, a functional food containing red yeast rice. Here, we describe 2 cases of kidney injury caused by beni-kōji. The first case had normal kidney function before consuming the product. After several months of use, she developed hypertension. After 6 months of supplement consumption, her estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) dropped to 22.5 mL/min/1.73 m
