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 (EP) is an uncommon condition involving acute severe necrotising infection in the renal parenchyma, perinephric space and collecting system, with a mortality rate of up to 13%. A 62-year-old male with poorly controlled diabetes mellitus presented with severe epigastric pain and shortness of breath for three days. A computed tomography scan revealed class 3B EP, which failed medical therapy and percutaneous drainage. He underwent a nephrectomy and achieved an excellent clinical recovery. Septic shock and uncontrolled diabetes mellitus are two risk factors that lead to a poorer prognosis. Class 3B EP with failed medical therapy and percutaneous drainage would benefit from nephrectomy.
