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

A 73-year-old man with history of nephrolithiasis was admitted after a witnessed cardiac arrest. In the emergency department, the patient had several runs of ventricular fibrillation treated with defibrillation and amiodarone infusion. Echocardiography revealed reduced ejection fraction with multiple mobile structures attached to the tricuspid valve leaflets. Due to concern for possible endocarditis, the patient was started on broad-spectrum antibiotics. On the following day, a renal ultrasound was performed for acute kidney injury followed by a non-contrast CT scan that revealed an obstructing 21 mm left-sided ureteral stone with pyohydronephrosis. He underwent emergent nephrostomy tube placement. Blood and urine cultures subsequently demonstrated the growth of
