A Case of Pyelonephritis in an Anuric Patient with End-Stage Renal Disease on Hemodialysis.
Article in Cureus, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
Urinary tract infections are common sources of infections requiring antibiotic use worldwide. Chronic kidney disease (CKD) patients, especially those with minimal urine output are challenging when it comes to antibiotic stewardship given the scarcity of cases in the literature. It is further complicated by the fact that end-stage renal disease (ESRD) patients are found to have asymptomatic pyuria and its clinical significance for bacterial infection is yet to be determined. In this case, we report a patient who presented with non-specific symptoms including fever, cough, chills, diarrhea, nausea and was found to have left-sided perinephric stranding on CT scan of the abdomen. The patient also had a fever of 104.6 F which we attributed to left-sided pyelonephritis given the high sensitivity of such findings on CT scan. In this report, we explored the literature for the incidence and management of pyelonephritis in ESRD patients who are anuric.
