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 33-year-old female presented with acute colicky left loin-to-groin pain and microscopic haematuria, with a background of 6 months of muscle and joint pains and diplopia. A CT kidneys/ureters/bladder demonstrated fat stranding surrounding the left ureter, as it passed over the left common iliac vessels. Arterial and delayed phase imaging revealed an obstructed ureter secondary to a left common iliac artery aneurysm, later found to be mycotic. No previous descriptions of a mycotic aneurysm presenting as renal colic have been found in the literature. The diagnosis and management of infective endocarditis and mycotic aneurysm are discussed, with a review of the literature. This serves as a good example of a common presenting complaint occurring secondary to a rare and serious pathology.
