Emphysematous Pyelonephritis, Emphysematous Cystitis, and Emphysematous Ureteritis: A Case Report.
Article in Cureus, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 6 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
Emphysematous urinary tract infections (EUTIs) are rare, severe, and suppurative infections affecting various parts of the urinary tract. We report a case of a 75-year-old male presenting with hematuria and generalized weakness with uncontrolled diabetes mellitus (DM) and hypertension. He tested positive for COVID-19 on the second day of hospital admission. A non-contrast-enhanced CT of the abdomen and pelvis revealed gas within the left renal parenchyma, walls of the left ureter, and urinary bladder, establishing the diagnosis of EUTIs. The patient was treated using intravenous antibiotics without any surgical intervention, and four weeks later was stable and transported to long-term acute care (LTAC) facility. DM is the most common risk factor for the development of EUTIs and
