Clinical Analysis of Renal Failure Caused by Malakoplakia: A Case Report and Literature Review.
Article in Frontiers in medicine, 2022. 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.

Diagnosis: Left-sided renal and bladder malakoplakia, chronic renal insufficiency (CKD stage 4), renal anemia, complicated urinary tract infection ( Treatment: Hospitalized urinary catheterization, anti-infective treatment, diagnostic anti-tuberculosis treatment, gastrointestinal dialysis, correction of anemia treatment, nutritional support, left lumbar enlargement, iliac fossa abscess puncture drainage, left nephrectomy.
