A Rare Case of Complicated Emphysematous Pyelonephritis.
Article in Cureus, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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 pyelonephritis is an acute severe necrotizing infection of the renal parenchyma and its surrounding tissues that results in the presence of gas in the renal parenchyma, collecting system, or perinephric tissue. The management of emphysematous pyelonephritis mainly depends on the extent of the disease. In this report, we present the case of a 48-year-old male who presented with left flank pain and imaging findings of left-sided emphysematous pyelonephritis with extensions of air into the pararenal space as well as a 5.6 cm bladder stone and severe right-sided hydroureteronephrosis. He initially received bilateral nephrostomy tubes, a left-sided perinephric draining tube, and intravenous antibiotics; however, his symptoms persisted. Ultimately, the patient underwent open cystolitholapaxy and left nephrectomy, with eventual resolution of symptoms.
