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

Emphysematous pyelonephritis (EPN) is a rare life-threatening gas producing kidney infection, commonly affects uncontrolled diabetic patients with underlying urinary tract obstruction. Presence of pneumoperitoneum and involvement of the bowels are uncommon presentation of EPN. In the present report, we present a 59-year-old African male who had extensive EPN with pneumoperitoneum, pneumatosis intestinalis and extension to the bowel causing ischemia. Successful surgical exploration was done, with resection anastomosis of the ischemic bowel segment and drainage of the kidney.
