Dietl crisis: Presentation and imaging findings in a 7-year-old boy.
Article in Radiology case reports, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 5 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
Intermittent ureteropelvic junction obstruction, or Dietl crisis, is a rare entity with sparse reports in published literature. Establishing the diagnosis is challenging given its intermittent nature. We report a case of Dietl crisis, focusing on ultrasound (US) and magnetic resonance urography (MRU) findings in a 7-year-old boy with recurrent episodes of colicky abdominal pain prompting multiple visits to the emergency department. Severe left hydronephrosis was visualized on US during one episode with complete resolution on follow-up US. MRU demonstrated severe left hydronephrosis with delayed calyceal transit time, time-to-peak enhancement, and excretion. There was no aberrant blood vessel. Surgical pyeloplasty provided complete symptomatic resolution. MRU can be a valuable tool in eliciting and dynamically confirming the diagnosis of Dietl crisis.
