Wunderlich Syndrome: Spontaneous Cystic Rupture on Account of Acquired Kidney Atrophy.
Article in Cureus, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 4 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
Wunderlich syndrome is an uncommon condition of spontaneous subcapsular and perirenal hemorrhage of atraumatic etiology in the kidney, with the potential to spread to the retroperitoneal region beyond the perirenal fascias. Its clinical manifestations usually include Lenk's triad, namely, acute flank pain, flank mass, and hemodynamic instability, which vary depending on the causative underlying renal pathology. Tumor bleeding of benign and malignant renal neoplasms is the most common cause of this syndrome, followed by vascular disorders and renal cystic diseases. Here, we report the case of a unilateral subcapsular renal hematoma on account of a left atrophic kidney with parapelvic cystic formations and variant hypoplastic vasculature which was successfully managed via radical nephrectomy after initial conservative treatment. Spontaneous cystic rupture contributed to the emergence of the syndrome, and its mechanisms are being addressed.
