Nephrobronchial fistula a case report and review of the literature.
Article in Radiology case reports, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. An erratum has been issued. Cited by 8 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
Nephrobronchial fistula is an extremely rare complications of renal infections. We present a case of nephrobronchial fistula in a middle age immunocompetent woman who complained cough and weight loss, with underlying asymptomatic nephrolithiasis. She underwent a chest X-ray that showed left lower lobe infiltrate and abdominal ultrasound. Abdominal ultrasound showed a complicated pyonephrosis ; CT of chest-abdomen-pelvis with intravenous contrast was performed in order to stage and define the extension of the pathology. At CT, a suspected diagnosis of stage III xanthogranulomatous pyelonephritis complicated with pyonephrosis and a nephrobronchial fistula was formulated. A nephrostomy tube was placed, and the patient was treated with antibiotics. Follow up CT, performed after 15 days, showed the healing of the fistulous connection between the perinephric abscess and bronchi; the patient underwent nephrectomy with no airway complication during intubation. Histopathological diagnosis confirmed the presence on complicated xanthogranulomatous pyelonephritis.
